MARTIN, Tenn.-Â The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team will host Murray State this Sunday, Sept. 3 at 4 p.m. on ESPN+.
Sunday will mark the 27th all-time meeting between the Skyhawks and Murray State. The last time the two schools met was on Sept. 4, 2022 when the match ended in a 2-2 draw. UT Martin junior forward Makayla Robinson found the back of the net in that match while Bastock snared five saves.

The Skyhawks (2-2) are coming off a 4-0 setback to Kentucky on Thursday night. Poppy Bastock made four of her five saves in the first half of the contest. Offensively, Izzy Patterson fired a shot and Allie Buchmann put a shot on goal for UT Martin.
Robinson's two goals lead the way in 2023 for the Skyhawks, who have also seen Catey Hunt and Patterson score goals so far this fall.

On the defensive side, Bastock has registered 19 saves while logging all 357:36 between the posts. Sophomore Shayla Addington has also played 350 minutes this season at defender for UT Martin.
