Hogs Pick Up Point at LSU

October 19, 2023

BATON ROUGE, La. – The No. 9 Razorbacks (10-3-2, 6-1-1 SEC) battled back late on the road to pick up a 1-1 draw against LSU (8-6-1, 3-4-1 SEC) on Thursday, their first in league play.

Down 1-0 with seven minutes to play, Arkansas perfectly executed a dangerous free kick from outside the penalty box. Freshman Avery Wren took the kick, which was passed to an open Ava Tankersley inside the 18. Tankersley crossed across the ground to midfielder Bea Franklin who slid in for her sixth goal of the season.

The Tigers opened the scoring six minutes earlier after forward Ava Galligan headed in a cross from midfielder Danielle Shannon.

The Hogs dominated possession to open the match but did not get a shot off until forward Anna Podojil’s attempt in the 30th minute that was saved by LSU goalkeeper Mollee Swift.

Freshman Phoebe Carver got the start in goal and tallied two saves before being subbed out for junior Sierra Cota-Yarde.

The Hogs had an 18-13 advantage in shots and a 7-1 edge in corner kicks. Both teams combined for 41 fouls and seven yellow cards.

Arkansas currently sits atop the SEC standings with 19 points, three ahead of South Carolina. With a win against Ole Miss on Sunday, the Hogs will clinch a share of the SEC regular season title.
