Junior Aijha Blackwell finished with her second double-double this season, recording 20 points and 13 rebounds. Fellow junior Hayley Frank tied Blackwell for the team-high 20 points, along with four rebounds.

Head coach Robin Pingeton said her team still has a long way to go before they reach their full potential though. Mizzou totaled 20 turnovers through its matchup with Morgan State.

"Just the sense of urgency to value that ball wasn't where it needed to be," she said. "I think it's easy to get caught playing the scoreboard, instead of just the possession, but we a lot about attention to detail. We've got to get better in that area."

Pingeton added that working with and coaching this group is exciting and she thinks their ceiling for the season is high.
