Mizzou women’s basketball is gearing up for an exciting season! Head coach Kellie Harper, along with players Grace Slaughter and Abbey Schreacke, participated in SEC Tipoff ’26 in Mountain Brook, Alabama. This media day was a great chance for fans to catch glimpses of the team on well-known platforms like SEC Network, ESPN, and SiriusXM.
Kellie Harper made history last March by becoming the fifth coach for Mizzou. With 20 years of experience in Division I coaching, her record stands at 393 wins and 260 losses. Harper has led her teams to the NCAA Tournament nine times, scored 15 top-three finishes in league play, and won four conference tournament titles. Notably, she reached the NCAA Sweet 16 two years in a row with the Lady Volunteers in the 2022-23 season.

Abbey Schreacke shined last season as well, hitting 168 three-pointers, ranking 12th in the SEC with a 37% success rate from beyond the arc. She had a personal best of 26 points in a game against Western Illinois and also made the 2024-25 SEC Community Service Team for her efforts off the court.
