CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Missouri Baptist Women's Soccer traveled to Iowa for the final time in 2026 to face Mount Mercy University.Â
The contest was scoreless for the majority of the first period. MBU forced a trio of opportunities in the early stages. Julia Bockhorst had a shot blocked in the fifth minute, and Gracie Black had a pair of corner kicks, though none of the attempts were successful.Â
