Soccer Preview and Game Thread: Tennessee

Vanderbilt played their final home match of the season Sunday. The Commodores defended West End from the clanging cowbells of Mississippi State in a 2-1 victory. It was a bit of a nervy showdown as Vanderbilt reverted to the clunkier play of the 4-4-2 Diamond midway through the first half. They had taken an early lead before being pegged back in the 11th minute. The winner would come in the 76th minute on a gorgeous Alex Wagner cross that was poked home by Hannah McLaughlin.
