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.
