MU
Defeats Kansas in Inaugural Border War Series
Tigers Dominate
Series by a 32.0 to 8.5 Final Margin
The University of Missouri has won the initial Midwest Ford
Dealers MU-KU Border War Series trophy going away, with the
final tally 32.0 to 8.5 in Mizzou’s favor.
This was the first year for the series,
which awarded points throughout the 2002-03 season to each school
for winning head-to-head matchups in the sports of baseball,
basketball, football, soccer, softball, women’s swimming,
women’s tennis and volleyball. Points were awarded in
the sports of cross country, golf, and track for the team that
finished higher at Big 12 championship events. Bonus points
were awarded for matchups that took place in post-season competition
(Big 12 or NCAA tournaments).
There were 27 events in which the Tigers
and Jayhawks competed against each other this season, and MU
came out on top in 21 of those instances. In sports where there
were head-to-head matchups, Mizzou dominated by winning 15-of-17
contests, while the Tigers won 6-of-10 other matchups by finishing
higher in team competition. The Missouri women’s teams
were instrumental in securing the cup this season, as the Tiger
women outscored Kansas women’s teams by a combined 23.0
to 1.0 margin.
The traveling Border War trophy was officially awarded to Mizzou
Athletics at the annual Kansas City Sports Commission Banquet
held in June 12th. Here is a brief recap of the results from
the series this year:
