Junior Reyna Reyes returns to the lineup after taking part in World Cup qualifying preparations with Mexico's National Team.
Missouri comes into town having given up 21 goals in eight matches this season. The combination of midfielder Reyes and forward Ashlynn Serepca should be entertaining against an obviously vulnerable Tigers back line.
Less than two minutes in, and Alabama's already played some aggressive passes to sneak a goal early on.
With tough upcoming stretch of games, the Crimson Tide needs a W tonight.

Much more urgency in attack tonight for the Tide. More movement away from the ball, more cuts past defenders and more calls for downfield passes. More direct. Not as much side-to-side wasted motion.
We'll see how it pays off.

Pace slowed down, as expected. Through just over 15 minutes, Alabama has two shots to Missouri's one.
Tigers earn a corner kick but nothing to show for it.
