Alabama’s Ashlynn Serepca made a penalty kick in the 84th minute to give the second-ranked Crimson Tide a 2-1 victory over seventh-ranked Arkansas in the SEC’s most anticipated soccer matchup of the season Sunday in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Serepca was fouled by Arkansas’ Makenzie Malham inside the penalty box to earn the attempt with 6:15 remaining. She struck the ball to the right side of the net as Razorbacks goalkeeper Grace Barbara went the opposite way.
The Crimson Tide (14-1-1, 7-0 SEC) scored the first goals against Arkansas since the Razorbacks lost their SEC opener 2-0 at Mississippi State on Sept.
