QUOTING HEAD COACH STEVEN McROBERTS…
“In the SEC, you have to have a short memory. Missouri is coming in 2-0 in the conference, so it’s going to be a tough match. Hopefully we learned a lot from this past weekend. We’re going to challenge our team to come out and use the frustration from this past weekend to have a good week of practice.”
Fans who come to the match on Wednesday will receive 20 Rebel Rewards points.
