OXFORD, Miss. - The Rebels will take on the Memphis Tigers on Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Ole Miss Soccer Complex.
Ole Miss is 10-3 overall this season and enters the game ranked 8th in the Central Region. Memphis enters the game with a 3-7 record on the year.
"This will be a good challenge for us," Ole Miss head coach Steve Holeman said. "It was a tough game last year and I'm sure we can expect the same this time around."
Last season, Ole Miss and the Lady Tigers played to a 2-2 tie in Memphis. Ole Miss holds a 2-0-1 all-time advantage over Memphis, and beat the Lady Tigers 6-0 at the last meeting in Oxford in 1997.
The Rebels are led this season by freshman Bridget Brooks and junior Regan Scanlon. Brooks leads the team with 11 goals and 23 points, while Scanlon is second with eight goals and 22 points.
Brooks currently ranks third in the Southeastern Conference in goals scored and points, while Scanlon ranks fourth and fifth respectively. Senior Amaris Weeks is also making her presence felt with a team-high seven assists, which puts her in a tie for third in the SEC.
