Where Missouri Softball is Ranked After Week 9
The Tigers slid down in the polls after finishing this past week with a 1-3 record.
Despite having a four-game winning streak in Week 8, the past several days weren't as kind to the Missouri softball team as it finished Week 9 with a 1-3 record.
The Tigers were upset by Southeast Missouri 1-0 to open up this past week and lost two of their three games against then-No. 19 Arkansas. Mizzou's lone victory against the Razorbacks came in 12-3 run-rule after five innings.
Nevertheless, Mizzou's overall performance this past week dropped the Tigers down from their previous No. 11 spot in the polls.
Here is where Missouri is ranked after Week 9:
