Michigan is a good team, but they've been struggling to get results, and we let them grow into the game. We did not come out like a team that was hungry to jump on them and take control of the game. We were too passive. (We) Gave them too much time and space, did not do enough in the attack and/or defense to make them uncomfortable. I thought our response in the second half was good.

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.

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.
