Season Opener @ Kentucky

[Colonel12]

I wish this was during the day so I could go.

Not sure what to expect from UK this year. They went 7-9-2 last year and lost every SEC match. However, they thumped EKU 4-0.

EKU was projected to finish 5th in the ASUN and is 1-9 all time vs UK. They beat UK 1-0 in 2018 at UK.

Just looked it up. The last time UK had more than 1 win in SEC play was 2017 (3-7) and haven't had a winning season since in the SEC since 2013.

Match day! Wearing a EKU Soccer shirt under a maroon polo to my UK job today.

20 minutes in and it's still 0-0. UK has dominated but only gotten 1 shot on goal. EKU has 1 shot total and it was off frame.

23rd minute and UK nets a goal.

UK 1
EKU 0

Final: UK 1 EKU 0

Had one really good chance on an over the top ball but UK's keeper came out ant cut off the angle and made the save with her right foot.

1-0 is better than 4-0

We held our own against an SEC squad! Our defense had to play lights out in both halves! UK was constantly pushing the attack and our team stood up to the challenge!

We played like 24 player's mostly Freshman and Sophomore throughout the match. UK keep their top 11 in most of the match!

I don't have the SEC Network so I couldn't watch...we got on of them directional Michigan squads this weekend and I will be there!

Thanks C12 for the game updates!
