Rebel Soccer Drops Match at Vanderbilt

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Ole Miss soccer team struck first, but couldn't maintain its early advantage, falling 4-1 to Vanderbilt Sunday afternoon at the VU Soccer Complex.
The Rebels (9-9, 4-6 SEC) got their goal from Bella Fiorenzo in the 29th minute, while the Commodores (9-7-1, 5-4-1 SEC) scored in the 34th, 51st, 68th and 77th minutes.
Fiorenzo netted her third score of the year at the 29:28 mark after she was fouled just outside the box, then floated in a perfect free kick into the far left corner of the net over Vanderbilt keeper Lauren Demarchi. That score would hold for five minutes before Sydney O'Donnell struck from the far corner of the box tying it 1-1.
Ole Miss had a look with just a minute left in the half when Gretchen Harknett crossed in a corner kick and Fiorenzo headed it in from around the 6-yard box, but a nice stop by the Vandy keeper kept it away sending the two teams to half locked at 1-1.
After the break, Claire Anderson found the net from the left post just six minutes into the half to give the Commodores a 2-1 lead, before Jackie Welch's score in the 68th, and Hannon Eberts' goal in the 77th capped the scoring on the afternoon.
The Rebels finished with 10 shots overall in the contest led by three from Fiorenzo. Addie Forbus and Liza Harbin both had two each, while the Commodores had nine shots total.
Ole Miss returns to the pitch Thursday, Oct. 27 at No. 2 South Carolina to close out the regular season.
