No. 9 Alabama Falls to Kentucky, 2-1
![]() ![]() Tuscaloosa, AL LEXINGTON, Ky. – After a scoreless first half, the ninth-ranked Alabama soccer team fell 2-1 to Kentucky in a Friday night road game. The loss was just the second of the season for UA as the team moved to 7-2-4 on the year and 1-2-1 in Southeastern Conference play. Kentucky remains undefeated with a 7-0-4 overall record and a 1-0-3 performance in conference. Nadia Ramadan found UA's equalizer after the Wildcats scored their first goal in the 60th minute. Ramadan passed a ball out wide to Gessica Skorka who crossed it back inside the box to the Alabama freshman. Kentucky recorded its second goal of the night, and second from Jordyn Rhodes, five minutes later to secure the win. From Head Coach Wes Hart: "I was pleased with our performance. I thought we played well at times, just lacked the quality needed on the final pass. We got into some dangerous spots and our final pass let us down. "I thought we competed well, defended well, kept possession of the ball and had a lot of territory. Credit to Kentucky. They were stingy defensively and made the most of their chances. It's not a fluke that they are undefeated through 11 games this season." The Game: All three goals in the game came within a 15-minute window as Kentucky's Rhodes scored her first of two goals in the 60th minute. Ramadan tied the game in the 70th minute as she created space off a give-and-go pass with Skorka near the right edge of the box. A corner kick by Kentucky created a chance for Rhodes to net the game winner and score for the second time in the match. Both teams were evenly matched in the game, tallying just one save apiece as Kentucky held a slight 12-11 advantage in shots. Ramadan's goal was her second of the year, while Skorka tallied her first assist of the season. Next: Alabama returns home to host Auburn on Thursday.

I think that gives us a lot of confidence going into the next one." The Game: With less than five minutes to play in the first half, Sydney Japic crossed a ball towards goal, just outside the six-yard box.

Alabama Ties, 1-1, Against Georgia in SEC Opener
![]() ![]() Tuscaloosa, AL The No. 7 Alabama soccer team opened Southeastern Conference action Thursday with a 1-1 tie against No. 23 Georgia. With the tie, Alabama extends its home unbeaten streak to 25 games and remains undefeated on the season with a 5-0-4 record, while Georgia moves to 3-1-3. Both teams found their goal in the opening 15 minutes of the game. Gianna Paul put the Tide on the scoreboard in the fourth minute of action as she tallied her sixth goal of the season for Alabama. Nicole Vernis scored the equalizer for Georgia 11 minutes later as the SEC opponents played over 78 minutes of the game with a tied score. From Head Coach Wes Hart: Mixed feelings. I guess that's what a tie does. Not overly excited because I want to win but at the same time not too discouraged because we didn't lose. I thought there were some good moments. I thought in the second half we looked more dangerous. The first half we had more spells of possession but weren't as dangerous. I challenged the group at halftime to take more risks and be more courageous and make things happen, and we did that to an extent. We saw a couple more chances in the second half. "We're still trying to figure out who we are. Last year's team played together for the entire '21 season and entire '22 season, and had combinations of players (that could play with each other) and had familiarity with each other. Here we are nine games into the season and we're still tinkering with the lineup and we're starting to learn who can play well together. Overall, pleased with where we're at. I don't think we're playing our best soccer, yet we're undefeated. Results over top-25 teams, a win over Memphis, draws against North Carolina and Georgia. So, all of that being said, not playing our best soccer but still getting results and still trying to figure out who we are as a group, so I'm extremely excited about that."The Game: A through ball from Felicia Knox to Paul led to a UA goal just four minutes into the action. Knox passed the ball to Paul just outside the box as the sophomore forward took two touches and fired her shot into the lower left corner Georgia's Vernis scored the equalizer in the 15th minute, receiving a pass from Aly Akers inside the box Alabama paced the game in shots, 13-7, including a dominant 6-2 tally in the second half Dylan Pixton made two saves in the game Paul has now scored in six of nine games and against all three of UA's top-25 opponents this season Next: Alabama closes the non-conference schedule on Sunday, facing Mercer in a road game The two teams will kick off on ESPN+ at 1 p.m. CT in Macon, Ga. ![]() |
