Even though we’re past football season, it’s easy to miss some of the stuff going on around Mizzou sports. Here is a look at what MizzouToday wasn’t able to cover last week.

Women’s basketball

We were able to cover the women’s basketball game against Cal in the SEC/ACC Challenge. So I won’t recap that here.

But while I was covering the Border War in Kansas City, the Tigers were hosting SIU-Edwardsville at Mizzou Arena on Sunday.

The Tigers won 65-56, claiming a fifth consecutive win.

SIUE jumped out to a 24-16 lead, then led 33-24 at halftime. But the Tigers charged out of halftime to tie the game at 42 going to the fourth, then Mizzou outscored the Cougars 23-14 in the fourth.

Jordana Reisma led the Tigers with 17 points to go with five rebounds and two steals, while Grace Slaughter added 11 points and a team-high six rebounds. Shannon Dowell also contributed 11 points, four rebounds, two assists and two blocks.

Slaughter and Dowell have scored in double figures in every game this season.

Abbey Schreacke added 10 points with two made 3-pointers, as she works to rebound from a slow start.

Mizzou shot 22-of-57 (38.6 percent) from the field, 5-of-13 (38.5 percent) from 3 and a perfect 16-of-16 from the free-throw line.

Mizzou led 11-6 in points off turnovers, while the Tigers led 28-16 in points in the paint and 12-4 in fast break point. But the Cougars out rebounded the Tigers 36-31.

Mizzou (9-2), will move on to host Illinois at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Wrestling

The Tigers hit the road east to St. Charles for Hustle in the Heartland on Friday.

First up, the No. 12 Tigers took on LIU and dominated, 42-0.

Here is a run through the lineup:

  • 125: No. 22 Mack Mauger beat Sawyer Ostroff by 14-3 major decision

The Tigers then took on No. 6 Nebraska and lost 27-10. It was just the second time Mizzou and Nebraska have faced off since the Cornhuskers left the Big 12. Nebraska now leads the all-time series 39-19-3.

Mizzou won three bouts.

Edmond beat Scott Robertson by 16-8 major decision. While Sinclair won a ranked match against No. 8 Silas Allred by 5-1 decision and Bates won a ranked matchup, upsetting No. 10 Camden McDanel by 4-1 decision.

  • Mizzou then went a little farther east to Edwardsville for the Cougar Clash on Sunday.

Nine Tigers placed in the individual tournament with Mizzou finishing fourth as a team with 135 points.

Mizzou was led by two runner-up finishes. Easton Hilton took second at 141 pounds, while Conway took second at 157.

Freshman Seth Mendoza had a pin and two technical falls to lead to a third-place finish at 149.

Logan Cole took third at 184 and Stoner took third/fourth at 285 after losing to Bryson Buhk in the second round, but beating him in the third-place match.

Mauger took fifth at 125 and David Gleason took fifth at 157.

Hieser took sixth at 174. While Hank Benter at 125, Boogie Harris at 133 and Dominic Banbinelli at 165 all took eighth.

Next up, the Tigers will go on the road to face No. 16 Northern Iowa at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Cross Country

Former Mizzou standout Karissa Schweizer earned a spot on Team USA in the 2026 World Athletics Cross Country Championship. She placed fourth in the women’s 10-kilometer run at the 2025 USA Track & Field Cross Country Championship on Saturday in Portland, Ore.

Schweizer ran a time of 34:16.2 to grab one of six automatic qualifying positions.

She will now go to the World Championships, which will be in Tallahassee, Fla., on Jan. 10.

It will be the first time in 34 years the USA hosts the global event.

This will be Schweizer’s sixth appearance for Team USA at a global championship and her second World Cross Country team.

Baseball

The Tigers announced their 2026 schedule.

Mizzou will face 11 NCAA Regional qualifiers from last year’s tournament. The Tigers will play 56 total games with 29 at home.
