COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri women’s soccer team is the Big 12 Conference’s regular season champion.

The Tigers (12-4-3) defeated Nebraska 5-0 on Sunday to give the school its first Big 12 regular season title in any sport since women’s softball 12 years ago. The softball team and men’s basketball team won their conference tournaments last year.

Junior Alysha Bonnick scored twice for Missouri, which concludes its regular season Friday with a trip to Lawrence to face Kansas. Missouri was undefeated in conference play with seven wins and two ties after a rocky early season start out of conference.
