Tennessee Earns Point on the Road, Ties Alabama 2-2
September 22, 2024 | Soccer
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - In its first SEC road contest of the season, the No. 23 Tennessee soccer team picked up a point after tying Alabama 2-2.
Tennessee moves to 6-1-2 on the season and has gone unbeaten for eight consecutive matches now.
Junior Kennedy Price and graduate Sammi Woods found the back of the net for the Lady Vols.
Price's goal was the first of her career. The defender also notched the secondary assist on Woods' goal, marking her first-ever three-point performance.
Nedya Sawan and Gianna Paul were Alabama's (7-2-2) goal-scorers as Lexi Meyer earned an assist on both goals. Additionally, goalkeeper Coralie Lallier registered five saves on the night.
Despite the Crimson Tide outshooting UT 20-to-12, the Lady Vols put seven shots on frame opposed to UA's four.
The first half was a defensive battle before Sawan's header found the back of the net in the 40th minute, putting Bama on the board first.
Price swiftly responded with a goal to level the match 1-1 in the 42nd minute. The Franklin, Tennessee, native was just outside the box and perfectly placed the ball in the back right corner of the net.
Unlike the opening frame, the second half saw early goals for each squad.
Woods registered her team-leading fourth goal of the season in the 51st minute after Price passed to Reese Mattern who then perfectly lofted the ball into the box.
Alabama's equalizer came one minute later when Paul finished in the box.
UT's Luciana Latino and Jaida Thomas both put a pair of shots in frame later in the match but were unable to break through.
UP NEXT: The Lady Vols will head to Florida for a 7 pm ET match on Thursday for its third SEC contest of the season.
