Arkansas Soccer's Unbeaten Run Snapped by Georgia
The close race for the SEC soccer regular-season title got tighter Friday as No. 6 Arkansas fell 1-0 to No. 22 Georgia in Athens, Ga.
Arkansas entered the league's weekday games with a one-point lead over No. Tennessee, but the Razorbacks did not capitalize on the opportunity to extend their lead after the Volunteers tied Oklahoma 0-0 on Thursday.
The loss means Arkansas is now tied with Tennessee for first place with 16 points, but holds a tiebreaker due to having more goals scored against common opponents.
- Arkansas fell 1-0 to No. 22 Georgia, ending their eight-match unbeaten run.
- No. 12 Mississippi State remained three points behind the frontrunners with a 2-1 loss at Florida.
Mya Townes scored the lone goal for the Bulldogs in the 53rd minute, gathering possession on the top of the box and firing a well-placed shot into the bottom-right corner.
The defeat ends Arkansas’ (7-3-3, 5-1-1 SEC) eight-match unbeaten run.
Author summary: Arkansas' unbeaten run ends with a loss to Georgia.
