Krista Kruse tips a header toward Belmont goalie Nicole Berner. The match was declared no contest due to weather.

There will be no record of this shot. No scorecard for this match. No official tally of the one goal Belmont managed to slip past the Missouri defense. For all practical purposes, the meeting between Missouri and Belmont at Walton Stadium never really happened.

There was a lot of rain. And then more rain. And wind so strong that the dinky press box atop the grandstands actually shook and suffered a broken door when a gust bent it too far backwards.

After a 75-minute delay before things even got started, the teams squeaked in 28 minutes of action. Then referees called the match due to lightning, and torrents quickly followed.
