Lady Razorbacks Big Dance
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Razorback soccer team continues its season this Friday as it set to play its first-round match of the 2018 NCAA Tournament against Sun Belt tournament-champion Little Rock at Razorback Field. First kick is slated for 7 p.m. and will be televised on SEC Network+.
NCAA Tournament First Round Match Info
Opponent: Little Rock Trojans (13-4-4, 7-2-1 Sun Belt)
Date: Friday, Nov. 9
Location: Razorback Field
First Kick: 7 p.m.
Live Stats: LINK
TV: SECN+
Tickets for the match can be purchased online through the Razorback Ticket Office throughout this week or in person at Razorback Field 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Gates will open for the public one hour prior to kickoff on Friday.
Arkansas (13-4-4, 6-3-1 SEC) is coming off a third-straight SEC Tournament final appearance and is looking to continue playing its best soccer in the postseason. Since Colby Hale became the head coach, the Razorbacks have played in five of the last six NCAA Tournaments, which are its only appearances in school history.
This Friday’s match will also mark the second time in school history that Arkansas has hosted the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the last coming in 2016. That year, Arkansas defeated Memphis, 2-1 in overtime, to advance to the second round.
Arkansas’ best finish in the NCAA Tournament came in 2013, where it reached the Sweet 16 in its first tournament appearance in program history before falling to Duke, 5-3 on penalty kicks, after battling to a 2-2 draw after 110 minutes of play. Since then, the Razorbacks have reached the second round two out of three times.
This year, as winners of four of its last seven matches, Arkansas brings in one of the strongest and well-balanced offensive units in the country. Combined, juniors Kayla McKeon, Tori Cannata, Stefani Doyle and sophomore Taylor Malham have combined for 23 of Arkansas’ 38 goals this year, including four of the last six.

Little Rock enters the NCAA Tournament at 14-4-3 on the year and won the Sun Belt Tournament championship last week after defeating regular-season champion Texas State in penalty kicks. This will be the first appearance in program history for the Trojans and the Sun Belt title was their first conference championship.

Colyb Hale has done an amazing job with Arkansas soccer. He's taken us to all of our NCAA tourney bids and he's put us in the SEC tourney finals the last three years running.
Given that we might have been the worst team in the SEC in soccer before he got here that is pretty darn impressive. UALR is a very solid G5 team, though in sports like soccer G5 doesn't mean as much.
If we reach the Sweet 16 again it would be great for this program. Ideally we would hit the Elite 8 or even the Final 4.
Regardless, having two teams from Arkansas in the NCAAs is great.

Between the suckage that was Razorback Softball and Soccer we have made huge strides and upgrades to the coaching staff.

We need to apply that make something better coaching hire prowess to our track team. Staying the course with our men's track program is wasting all of our advantages.

Do y’all like soccer? I feel like my name should be Esther Sue asking that question but it wasn’t meant as stink face, just a question. I don’t hate it but I’ve tried to like it multiple tries but I just don’t. Maybe it’s because I’m older like fine wine and it wasn’t something I wafched or played when I was young? I dunno.
