The Ole Miss Rebels had their SEC home opener versus the Tennessee Volunteers on Thursday night. Unfortunately, Ole Miss was unable to come away with a victory, losing 2-0.
Tennessee put the Rebels under a lot of pressure in the opening half. After their first shot, a near-miss, the Rebels struggled to maintain possession and create chances. Tennessee dominated the opening half, and the Rebels never really got going.
Tennessee’s first goal came from a follow-up shot in the 22nd minute, after senior goalkeeper Marnie Merritt saved the initial effort.
