Texas Aggie soccer closes out their regular season today at home. This match against Auburn was rescheduled due to a false positive COVID test and Auburn chose a 3PM kickoff for the Monday match. You can either join us in person at Ellis Field at 3PM today (it's ok, you have permission), watch the action on SEC+ through the ESPN app, or listen live at 12thMan.com/live.
Auburn is 3-2-2 on the season behind a stingy defense. The Tigers have wins over Ole Miss (1-0 2OT), Georgia (1-0), and LSU (1-0 OT). Ties have come against Miss St (1-1) and Kentucky (1-1). Auburn lost to Arkansas (1-2) and Alabama (0-1).
Those results are incredibly tight. 4 of 7 games have gone to OT and every result has been decided by a single goal. In total, Auburn has outscored opponents 6-5 while outshooting them 86-83. One of Auburn's 6 goals is uncredited, as the gamewinner versus Ole Miss was an own goal, which also came in the final seconds of double overtime.
Sophomore forward and Plano product Sydney Richards has led scoring for Auburn with her 2 goals. Richards was also named to the all-conference freshman team last season. She saw action in every game in 2019 and totaled 4 goals and 1 assist.
Freshman goalkeeper Maddie Prohaska has missed 1 game this season, but she is back in goal. She has allowed just 4 goals on the year and totalled 28 saves earning a 87.5% save percent. In total, Auburn has 3 shutouts on the season.
A&M is 7-3 against Auburn all-time. Last season, the Aggies won 1-0 in Auburn. All three of A&M's losses to Auburn have been shutouts.
A win here lands A&M a share of the regular season championship, a second place finish in the west, and a three seed in the SEC Tournament.
