FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – No. 15 Arkansas won on the road Sunday in Oxford, Mississippi, to top Ole Miss 2-1 and improve to 11-1-0 overall and 4-0 in the Southeastern Conference.

The victory was a come-from-behind effort by the Razorbacks, down 1-0 early in the first half after Ole Miss sophomore forward CeCe Kizer scored a goal during the waning moments of the 4th minute.

It was all Arkansas from that moment on, with freshman forward Kayla McKeon scoring the equalizer in the 22^nd minute of play and senior midfielder Claire Kelley heading in the game-winner in the second half assisted by sophomore midfielder Reece Christopherson.

“Ole Miss is extremely dangerous and I thought we dealt with that well,” head coach Colby Hale said. “Playing on the road on Sunday in 95-degree heat isn’t easy but this team thrives when it isn’t easy. I couldn’t be more proud of this team. We have a lot to work on as a group to get to the next level, but the heart and determination this team plays with inspires me. This team has something special.”

McKeon has scored a team-leading seven goals this season and earned a team-high 14 points. Kelley’s goal was her second of the year, and along with her team-leading eight assists, placed her second on the team overall with 12 points.

With the win, Arkansas remained tied at first place with South Carolina (10-0-1, 4-0-0) in SEC standings. The Rebels dropped to 6-6-0 overall on the season and 1-3 in conference play.  

Reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Week goalkeeper Cameron Carter improved to 11-1 on the season, logging four saves in the contest.

Arkansas recorded 16 shots in the match with nine on goal, and held a 7-1 advantage over Ole Miss in corners.

The Razorbacks will play their next two games at home, hosting Georgia (3-7-1, 0-4-0) on Friday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. and Vanderbilt (7-4-0, 3-1-0) on Thursday, Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. The match against the Bulldogs will be streamed live on SEC Network+ via the WatchESPN app, while the weekend contest against the Commodores will be a nationally televised match on SEC Network.
