COLUMBIA — The Missouri women's soccer team refused to relent against Nebraska on Sunday. Up 2-0 at halftime, the team continued to put on the pressure, scoring three goals in the second half en-route to the program's first Big 12 regular season championship.

The conference championship is the first for the program and
