STARKVILLE, Miss. – No. 7 Razorback Soccer picked up a 2-1 win at Mississippi State, clinching at least a share of the SEC regular season title and the No. 1 seed at the SEC Tournament from Nov. 13-Nov. 22. It’s the second-straight conference crown for the Razorbacks, the only two in program history.
Arkansas has gone 15-2-1 over the past two seasons against conference competition, including 8-1 on the road. The Razorbacks have won 16 of the last 18 meetings with Mississippi State since 2003. Â
Parker Goins put away her 25th career goal, which is tied for sixth in program history, while Ava Tankersley netted the third goal of her rookie season. Â
How It Happened Â
>> A. Podojil carried the ball down the right sideline and put in a cross as Goins made a run to the front post. After a deflection, Goins gained possession and sent a shot just over the Bulldog ‘keeper from the six-yard box in the 11th-minute. Â
>> Haley VanFossen played a corner that was redirected by Kayla McKeon towards the front of the goal. Tankersley gathered the pass and sent in her third goal of the season. Â
>> Monigo Karnley sent a ball to the top of the six-yard box that Hailey Farrington-Bentil was able to put a one-timer to the back of the net. Â
The Run of Play Â
>> The Razorbacks got off to another hot start, notching two goals in the first 20 minutes for the second-straight week. Â
>> KK Pavatt directed a strike to the upper-right 90 that Razorback 'keeper Taylor Beitz was able to push over the crossbar in the 20th-minute. Â
>> The Bulldogs were able to get a goal back just over 10 minutes later to bring the score to 2-1. Â
>> Arkansas almost added another goal in the 64th-minute when Goins sent in a cross from the left side, however Taylor Malham wasn’t able to get enough power on her header. Â
>> In the 73rd-minute Goins had another look but she put a mid-air one-timer over the goal off an Emilee Hauser cross from the left flank. Â
