Texas Soccer Faces No. 1 Seed Vanderbilt Today in the SEC Tournament's Second Round
The Longhorns reached the second round the hard way — scoreless through overtime, then 5-4 on penalty kicks against Mississippi State — and the tournament's top seed is next, at 4:30 p.m. Central on the SEC Network.
AUSTIN — Texas women's soccer plays the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament today, facing the Vanderbilt Commodores in the second round at 4:30 p.m. Central, in a match aired on the SEC Network, according to Hookem Headlines' Tuesday roundup.
Texas, led by first-year head coach Margueritte Bates, secured its first-round win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs the hard way: the two teams went scoreless through regulation and overtime, and the Longhorns advanced by outshooting the Bulldogs 5-4 in penalty kicks, the roundup reported.
The reward is the tournament's top seed. Vanderbilt enters as the No. 1 seed, and the roundup framed the match as a massive uphill battle for a Texas side that has already spent 110 scoreless minutes and a shootout reaching this round.
The desk files the result after today's final whistle. No score is reported here: at staging, the match had not kicked off.
