Ole Miss Women’s Soccer Determined and Ready

OXFORD, MISS----------- The Ole Miss women’s soccer team are off to a good start this season with a record of 10-2 against big wins like Alabama and Texas Tech.  With only 2 seniors this team is heading in the right direction to their goal of making the SEC tournament. 

The teams strongest attribute is their defending, sophomore Virginia Seiler said, “no one is off the hook when it comes to defense.”

The teams only 2 losses came from some of their biggest competition Texas A&M and Missouri, they play Florida September 28^th at Florida and according to Seiler they are another big competitor. 

The Ole Miss women’s team has good chemistry on and off the field, which helps when, it comes to game time.

“We all get along and we enjoy playing with each other, it makes the game more fun when you have people you like playing with you,” said Seiler.

Lorrie Phillips the team manager also notices how well the team interacts together. “They are like a family the joke around with each other but they get serious when it comes to game time,” said Phillips.

When asked is it hard being a student and an athlete Seiler grinned and said,” It’s the price you have to pay, I try to do as much studying as I can on the long bus rides, but its definitely hard.”

The team has gained more and more fan base with every game and especially since last years season. However there could always be more supporters.

“We have a good crowd usually at every game, there could always be more but we are thankful for the people who do come, “ said Seiler.

This soccer team works extremely hard and is diligently trying to achieve their goal of making the SEC tournament this year, and the way they have been playing lately they will be good competitors. 

Their next 2 games are away at Florida and Auburn but they will be home against Georgia on October 5^th and 7 o clock.
