Nena Doran went 3-for-3 against Missouri, posting three of CSU's five hits. She also scored both runs and had an RBI.
A solo home run from Doran gave CSU a 1-0 lead in the third inning, but the Tigers came right back with an unearned run in the bottom of the inning to tie the game at 1-1.
The Tigers took a 4-1 lead in the fifth on a three-run homer by Sami Fagan. Doran belted a two-out double in the seventh and came around to make it 4-2 on an Alisha Silva RBI single, but Cynthia Woodard lined out to centerfield to end the game.
In Saturday's first game, UT-Chattanooga scored single runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings and CSU managed just three hits in the setback.
