Kentucky women's soccer beats LSU in SEC tournament
On a weekend full of action on the football field, the Kentucky women’s soccer team made a statement on the football pitch. The ‘Cats took on the LSU Tigers in the first round of the SEC Tournament on Sunday, the first time Kentucky made the tournament since 2020 and their first in the 10-team format since 2015.
After 90 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime, the match remained goalless, but the No. 7 seed Kentucky squad (9-3-6, 3-3-4 SEC) ultimately pulled away from the No. 10 seed Tigers (8-7-4, 3-5-2 SEC) in a penalty shootout, 4-2.
Kentucky’s goalkeeper, Marz Josephson, came up huge for the ‘Cats, denying six shots to keep her team in it before entering into penalty kicks.
