9/17/2025 | Soccer
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Ole Miss Soccer heads to the Palmetto State this Thursday for an SEC clash with No. 15 South Carolina. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. CT with Brad Muller (pxp) and Nancy Goffi (analyst) on the call for SEC Network+.
QUICK KICKS
Ole Miss earned its first league point of the season after a 1-1 draw against Auburn on senior night. Auburn scored quickly finding the back of the net in the sixth minute. Ole Miss would respond with a goal from Kate Smith in the 28th to even the score at one. Sidney O'Billovich was terrific in goal for the Rebels, tying a career-high 11 saves. She faced a career-high 28 shots from the Tigers and 13 corner opportunities. Chance after chance though, O'Billovich hung tough and kept Auburn at bay. The Ole Miss back line had several key deflections and cleared several corner opportunities to stifle momentum for Auburn offensively.
WHAT'S ON FILM
No. 15 South Carolina (7-1-1, 1-0-0 SEC) defeated Alabama in its SEC opener this past Thursday. The Gamecocks have surrendered just three goals this season, led by Christina Tsaousis in goal. Four Gamecocks have two or more goals led by Mackenzie Johnson with five. Johnson also leads Carolina in points with 11. Shelley Smith is in her 25th season at South Carolina. She has tallied a 324-141-68 record during her time in Columbia.
13 IS CRAFTY
Sophomore Katie Ramsden showed promise last season for Ole Miss and is delivering in year two for the Rebels. The Leeds, England leads Ole Miss in goals, assists and points. Earlier this year she became the first Rebel since Channing Foster in 2019 to score in three consecutive matches.
A NEW CHAPTER
The Ole Miss Soccer Stadium underwent a 3.75-million-dollar renovation this summer which included a new playing surface, new practice area, 9000sqft turf area, new video board, new audio system, a berm seating area on the north end and new team shelters.
Since the complex was christened on Sept. 28, 1997, in a regionally televised game against Alabama, the Rebels have been victorious in nearly 62 percent of their home matches, posting an impressive 172-74-33 mark through 2024.
00 CAN PLAY
SEC Defensive Player of the Week Sindey O'Billovich has been rock solid in goal for the Rebels.
