Lady Vols Soccer ⚽️ Ole Miss @ Tennessee 7PM Thursday 9/19 Regal Stadium (Admission is free)

I like the fact that our defense can slowly move the ball up-field. If I can move the ball from my defensive third to the middle third without pressure, that is always a win. We are able to do this because our opposition is choosing not to press and engage until the middle third? Why? Perhaps they might be worried about the speed and physicality of our forwards. Just a thought. Usually when a team presses its because they do not respect your ability to beat it. Others teams choosing not to press says something good about our team or bad about their own assessment of what the opposition team can or cannot do.

I like this view, feels like things are coming together and we are seeing Kirt’s vision.

This is disappointing.

Was excited to see former LV Cariel Ellis play in the A League in Australia, but it looks like it’s not happening. Hope she gets another opportunity to play professionally.

Cariel Ellis departs Melbourne City​

Melbourne City FC can announce that the Club and Cariel Ellis have agreed a mutual termination of the attacker’s contract at her request, allowing her to return to America due to personal reasons.

On behalf of everyone at Melbourne City FC, we would like to wish Cariel all the best for the future.

SEC Soccer starts this week.

Standings after non conference.

I’m assuming the cancelled Duke/Tennessee match was counted as a draw.



After five weeks, two perfect teams remain:

Auburn
Kentucky


Auburn remains the only team who has not been scored upon yet.

Surely the Lady Vols soccer will get a national seeding in the new polls that come out next week. They tied number 9 and beat number 7. What more do the pollsters want? Anything less shows a bias and a lack of respect for the program.

Tennessee jumps into the Top 25 of the Top Drawer Rankings for the first time this season at #23.
