COLUMBIA — It all happened in five minutes.

In five minutes, the Missouri women's soccer team watched a tie game become a three-goal deficit, and, ultimately, a loss.

Long Beach State scored goals in the 74th, 76th and 79th minutes to beat Missouri 4-1 on Sunday at Walton Stadium.

The surge game less than 20 minutes after the Tigers (3-2) had tied the game at 1, on a Kristin Andrighetto penalty kick.

Long Beach State's Nicole Hubbard scored the team's last two goals, minutes after entering into the game.

 

The Tigers only had six shots to the 49ers’ 11 in the second half.
