Ole Miss Soccer Travels To Nationally-Ranked Memphis


        

OXFORD, Miss. – The Ole Miss soccer team will face its second nationally-ranked team in as many games as the Rebels travel to Memphis Friday for a game against the Tigers at 7 p.m.

Ole Miss will return to home on Monday, September 12 to host The Citadel at 1 p.m.  Admission to all home Ole Miss soccer matches is free. 

“The Memphis game is a great opportunity for us,” head coach Matt Mott said.  “They are number 16 in the country and are 5-0 and they are playing really well.  Our girls are excited and we are excited to play them.  They are our biggest rival outside of the SEC and so I expect a really great game.  They are a very good team so we have to be sharp and focused and ready to go.”

OLE MISS-NO. 16 MEMPHIS

Ole Miss leads the all-time series, 8-5-1.  The Rebels and Tigers are 1-1 in their last two meetings with each winning on the other team’s home field.  This year’s meeting will mark the third consecutive meeting where Memphis will be nationally-ranked.

 

The Tigers are 5-0 this year including wins over two SEC schools, LSU and Alabama.  Memphis played one game over the weekend, winning 2-0 at Western Kentucky.  Led by Kaitlyn Atkins’ six points, 12 Tiger players have recorded at least one point on the year.

 

Goalkeeper Elis Kuhar-Pitters has allowed two goals in five matches and has recorded five saves and three shutouts.

 
“The Citadel is very well coached and they will be organized and tough to break down,” Mott said.  “They have this whole week off so they will be ready for us.  We have got to be sharp and play well at home.”
 

OLE MISS-THE CITADEL

Ole Miss and The Citadel have never met.

 

The Citadel is 2-2 this season and is coming off a 5-1 win over USC Upstate and a 2-1 loss to Navy.  Vanessa Aponte has recorded eight points (three goals, two assists) while Mariana Garcia has recorded five points (two goals, one assist).

 

Goalkeeper Laura Serafino has started all four games.  She has allowed four goals and made 23 saves.
