COLUMBIA, Mo. - One day after a nine inning battle, the No. 9 Tigers and No. 14 Sooners were back at it as Missouri pulled out another dramatic victory, this one coming in the 11th inning. Nicole Hudson delivered a base hit back up the middle, scoring Saturday's hero Abby Vock, as the Tigers completed their first sweep over the Sooners since 2006.
With the win, Missouri extended the nation's best home winning streak to 32 straight games while improving to 35-5 on the season. The Tigers kept pace with Texas (37-4, 9-0 Big 12) in the Big 12 standings, moving to 9-1 in league play to stay a half game out of first.
In front of a regular season record crowd of 1,712, redshirt sophomore Chelsea Thomas was once again magnificent. The Pleasantville, Iowa, native threw her second complete game of the weekend, tossing all 11 innings, while striking out 17 batters for the second straight day. She allowed six hits and walked only one, throwing 163 pitches in the affair. Thomas struck out every Sooner batter at least one time on the day.
Missouri hits the road for four games this week, starting with a doubleheader on Wednesday at Saint Louis at 3 p.m. CT.
Jamie Sweeney named Big 12 Women's Diving Coach of the Year, while Loren Figueroa is the conference Women's Diver of the Year.
The Big 12 Conference announced today the 2010-11 Big 12 Swimming and Diving postseason awards, and two Tigers were selected to receive postseason honors. Jamie Sweeney received the honor of Big 12 Women's Diving Coach of the Year for the first time, while freshman Loren Figueroa also nabbed her first Women's Diver of the Year honor for the conference.
Figueroa made an incredible impact on the Tiger diving team this year, putting together the best freshman season of any diver in school history. Her season culminated with a second place, All- American finish at the NCAA Division I Championships in the 1 meter dive, setting a new University record with her score of 335.15. Her finish was the best ever for a Missouri diver. Figueroa also brought Missouri its first ever Big 12 Championship in the 1 meter dive, finishing with a meet-record score of 335.15.
In his fourth season as Head Diving Coach at Missouri, Sweeney raised the program to its highest level of success thus far, cementing its status in the national spotlight. Sweeney's divers, led by Figueroa's NCAA medal and Big 12 Championship, posted some of the highest finishes of any divers in Missouri history. Sweeney was also named Big 12 Women's Diving Coach of the Meet at Big 12 Championships.
