The Tigers and Bulldogs were tied going into the final routine of the fourth rotation, then Kennedy Griffin posted a 9.925 on the floor to seal the win.

Amari Celestine led the Tigers in the all-around, posting season bests on the vault (9.900) and floor (9.950), while adding a 9.925 on the bars.

Helen Hu added another near-perfect score on the beam with a 9.975, marking the fourth time she has hit that mark this season.

Addison Lawrence set a career best on the bars with a 9.900, while freshman Kaia Tanskanen scored a 9.900 in her collegiate debut on the floor. Hannah Horton added a season-best vault score of 9.925, which gave her the event title for the second time this season.

Missouri (11-3, 3-2), which has reached 11 wins in the regular season for the third time under coach Shannon Welker, will go on the road to take on No. 5 Florida at 5 p.m. Friday for SEC Network’s Friday Night Heights.

Moving on.

The Tigers went to the SEC Championships in Athens, Ga., placing 10th in both the men’s and women’s competitions. The SEC has 12 women’s programs and 11 men’s programs.

On Day 3, the Tigers’ women’s 200-yard freestyle relay group of Sierra Smith, Zara Zallen, Katie Kuehn and Grace Hanson took sixth with a time of 1:28.22. The Tigers men’s 200-yard freestyle relay time trial team of Luke Nebrich, Grant Bochenski, Ethan Vance and Dardon Tate swam a time of 1:16.37 as the only group competing.

No other Tiger competitors or relay teams approached the top-5.

Moving on.

The Tigers hosted Lindenwood on Saturday, sweeping the Lions 4-0.

Missouri claimed the doubles points with Andrea Artimedi and Lailaa Bashir pairing to beat Sarah Ben Aba and Fabiana Labrador 6-0, while Sarah Hartel and Gian Octa beat Megan Caffin and Yana Gaskell 6-1.

In singles, Bashir beat Labrador 6-0, 6-2, Artimedi beat Michelle Trochez 6-3, 6-1 and Oct beat Caffin 6-1, 6-0.

Then they took on Vanderbilt and dropped a 7-0 match to the No. 31 Commodores.

Artimedi and Mary Crumfield lost to Sonya Macavei and Bridget Stammel 6-2, while Bashir and Octa lost 6-2 to Valeria Ray and Trinetra Vijayakumar to give Vanderbilt the doubles point.

In singles, Inah Canete lost 6-0, 6-2 to Celia-Belle Mohr, Bashir lost to Valeria Ray 6-4, 6-3, Oct lost 6-0, 6-1 to Stammel, Artimedi lost to Macavei 6-1, 6-2, Korina Roso lost to Vijayakumar 3-6, 6-1, 14-12 and Sarah Hartel lost to Sophia Webster 6-1, 6-4.

“Overall, today we could have done a much better job,” Missouri coach Bianca Turati said. “We did not show up with the competitive spirit we needed. We failed a s a team to really test Vanderbilt and put them under pressure. We had too slow of a start in singles and did not bounce back after doubles at all and that set the tone for the whole match. Credit to Lailaa and Korina, they played good matches at No. 2 and No. 5 singles.”

Missouri (8-2, 0-1 SEC) will return to the court when it hosts No. 22 Alabama on Friday starting at 11 a.m. The Tigers will then face Ole Miss at noon on Sunday.

Moving on.

The No. 25 Tigers got back on the mat for Senior Night against Iowa State on Saturday, but lost 21-18.

Iowa State opened the dual with four consecutive wins to take a 15-0 lead before No. 30-ranked 157-pounder James Conway posted a 9-3 upset of No. 8-ranked Cody Chittum.

Then the Tigers stormed back, with No. 15-ranked 165-pounder Cam Steed pinning Aiden Riggins in 1:20 before Keegan O’Toole pinned Caden Schmidt in 6:14 at 174 to tie the match at 15.

But the Tigers dropped the next two matches by close decisions to send the match to the heavyweights with ISU leading 21-15.
