State of the Hogs: Arkansas soccer draws national attention

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas women's soccer turned national heads by pulling what the rankings indicate was an upset, but what confirmed the preseason SEC polls.

The Razorbacks beat Texas A&M, 2-1, in a home match televised by the SEC Network. It was a fun afternoon with the nation's top women's soccer analyst on the call.

Julie Foudy, one of the top players ever for the USA national team, called it a fair result with the then-No. 9 Razorbacks beating the No. 5 Aggies.

Arkansas jumped to No. 3 in the latest poll Tuesday.

Texas A&M may have been higher ranked ahead of the game, but SEC coaches voted the Razorbacks as the preseason favorite ahead of the season.
