Abbey Schreacke got the ball in the corner five times in Mizzou’s matchup against UT Martin; she drained it every time — finishing with 17 points and a season-high shooting night from beyond the arc.
Schreacke helped to push Mizzou to a 103-59 rout over the Skyhawks, moving the Tigers to 4-0 on the season. Mizzou finished with a season-high 12 threes total as they cruised to their second consecutive triple-digit scoring night following their 106-59 win over Tennessee Tech.

Mathurin both matched Schreacke with 17 points, and Mathurin emerged as the jumpstart the team needed to get ahead following a rough start to the contest.
“We didn’t know is which press we were going to see, they mix it up quite a bit, and probably did some new things today that we haven’t even seen on film,” head coach Kellie Harper said. “What I liked was how we adapted, and we handled something that we hadn’t seen, and our players were able to adjust, find the openings and then really play free and attack.”
The breakthrough they needed came from Mathurin, who knocked down a pair of three-point shots to accelerate a 15-2 run in the first quarter, helping Missouri earn a comfortable lead early on.
“I think makes are contagious,” Schreacke said. “Once somebody gets hot, that lets the other girl get hot, and then we’re just rolling.”
After starting the game going 0-for-3 from beyond the arc and 3-for-11 on field goals, The Tigers found their footing and nailed four three-pointers in the first quarter. Mathurin added two, but the other two came from Schreacke, who took two shots — both three-pointers — and nailed both of them.
Mathurin finished with her first career double-double, totaling 11 rebounds in addition to her aforementioned 17 points.
“We just want to keep attacking them at every possession,” Mathurin said. “So I think once I kind of saw that first ball drop and kind of the way it was, it was going. I was getting rebounds, just playing aggressive.”
“Yeah, I think I’m just in a program where I can thrive in all aspects of my game,” Mathurin said. “So my coaches encourage me to go get the rebound, and they tell me if I’m not crashing the boards or if I’m not boxing out. So I think just having people who can hold me accountable in those positions has really set me up for today.”
Schreacke continued her dominance from range for the rest of the half, emerging as an unwavering force in the corner whenever they could find her. She finished the half with four threes, shooting 80%, helping to extend the lead to 30 at half.
While the 2nd quarter was when Mizzou ran the score up offensively, they also limited the Skyhawks’ attempts to stay in the game. UT Martin had just nine points in the 2nd quarter; going 3-19 from the field and missing all seven 3-point attempts.
Once the comfortable lead was maintained, the Tigers did not let it go. They held the lead for the rest of the night, extending it to as much as 45 points in the fourth quarter.
Missouri totaled 21 assists for the second game in a row, something that has been a focal point for Harper and the team.
“We’re just really focusing on getting assists and playing together in that way, driving kicks, inside-out touches,” Schreake said. “Those are ways that we can really open up the floor for each other, and we’ve been playing really well together, and that’s always helping us.”
“We passed the ball well, so 21 assists in back-to-back games,” Harper said. “You start doing that, you score. You’re going to score a lot of points. I think our pace is pretty good. It gives us an opportunity to put points on the board.”
Missouri takes the win and moves its focus to Lindenwood, who comes to town on Sunday. This will be the final test for the Tigers before they take on Kansas State at T-Mobile Centre on Nov.22, the first Power Four matchup of the 2026-27 season.
