AUBURN SOCCER BLANKS OLE MISS 3-0 FOR FIRST SEC WIN

Tigers allow no shots on goal as Brown, Ivey and Husbands score in dominant SEC home victory

AUBURN, Ala. | Auburn held Ole Miss without a shot on goal and got goals from Gracie Brown, Grace Ivey and Kennedy Husbands in a 3-0 victory Friday night at the Auburn Soccer Complex.

The Tigers (5-1-3, 1-0-1 SEC) earned their first Southeastern Conference win of the season and posted their seventh shutout in nine matches.

“It’s a big three points with a clean sheet,” Auburn coach James Armstrong said. “We talked to the girls about having to earn the victory, and I think we did that tonight with our effort.”

AUBURN BUILDS EARLY LEAD

Brown opened the scoring with her second goal of the season, converting off a corner kick.

Ivey doubled the lead six minutes later, finishing a ball played in by Layla Sirdah. It marked the second straight meeting with Ole Miss in which the senior scored.

Auburn entered the match as one of eight teams nationally with at least 70 corner kicks this season and continued to make its set pieces count. The Tigers generated eight corners against the Rebels and scored twice from them.


HUSBANDS MAKES IT 3-0

Husbands completed the scoring in the 56th minute, knocking in a ball following another Auburn corner.

The Tigers controlled the match defensively from there, limiting Ole Miss to three shots and three corner kicks.

Ole Miss' three shots were its fewest in a match since the Rebels were held to one against Tennessee last season.

TIGERS POST SEVENTH SHUTOUT

Auburn has allowed two goals through nine matches, leading the SEC and tying for third nationally.

Goalkeeper Ayana Yapo recorded her 10th career shutout as the Tigers prevented Ole Miss from putting a shot on frame.

Auburn is unbeaten in its past four meetings with Ole Miss, posting three shutouts during that stretch. The Tigers also have held the Rebels scoreless in their past two matches at the Auburn Soccer Complex.

“Once again, we were slow in the second half,” Armstrong said. “We've got to figure that out collectively. It was a very physical game. We're happy with the three points, three goals, a clean sheet, and we’ll move on to the next one.”


UP NEXT

Auburn returns to SEC play Thursday when it visits Missouri for a 6 p.m. CT match.
