Pettet started all 17 games for Mizzou in the 2022 campaign, playing 1,530 minutes and being named team captain prior to the start of the season. The junior scored the first two goals of her career in back-to-back games.

Fischer was a major contributor to the Tiger’s offense this season, totaling two goals and three assists for seven points. The sophomore scored her first goal of the season at Omaha, Aug. 28, and recorded her second on a penalty kick against Florida, Oct. 9 that was the eventual game-winner. She was previous named to the SEC All-Freshmen Team in 2021 and on the SEC Watchlist for the 2022 season. The Saarbrucken, Germany native is studying for a B.S. in Architectural studies.
