MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team is set to open the 2018 season on the road at regional opponent Arkansas State on Thursday, Aug. 16. Kickoff is slated for 4 p.m.
The matchup marks the second consecutive year that the Skyhawks have played the Red Wolves as Arkansas State came out with a 2-0 victory in 2017. UT Martin looks to duplicate its season-opener from last season as it defeated Marshall by a 4-1 margin.
The 2018 campaign marks the 21st season of soccer at UT Martin as head coach Phil McNamara and his staff have concluded its offseason preparation, including a pair of exhibition matches that saw the Skyhawks take on Lipscomb and North Alabama. With McNamara at the helm, UT Martin has tallied four Ohio Valley Conference championships and has its sights set on another deep run.
Just a season removed from being one of the youngest squads in the nation – a roster which featured no senior leadership – the 2018 Skyhawks now have a seasoned group of players to go along with a group of talented newcomers. Seniors Maggie Burkett, Danae Kaldaridou and Amy McGivern lead the way for UT Martin as all three have garnered All-OVC honors in their Skyhawk careers.
Arkansas State finished the 2017 season with a 9-6-2 overall mark and rounded out the year with a Sun Belt Conference record of 5-4-1, finishing fourth in the final standings. The Red Wolves return 17 players and feature six newcomers to the pack.
Fourth-year head coach Brian Dooley wll turn to senior goalkeeper Kelsey Ponder to lead Arkansas State as she has been named to the 2018 Sun Belt Preseason All-Conference team.
Fans can watch the match while live stats will also be available. Both of those links can be found at the top of the webpage.
