LIVE STATS
HATTIESBURG, Miss. – The Southern Miss soccer team (10-3-0, 4-2-0 C-USA) will face the UTEP Miners (6-8-1, 1-5-0 C-USA) in their final home match of the 2018 season on Sunday, October 14 at 12:00 p.m. (CT) at the Southern Miss Track & Field and Soccer Complex.
The last time out
In their most recent match, Southern Miss defeated UTSA (5-7-1, 1-4-1 C-USA) by a final score of 1-0, posting their eighth shutout of the season.
It took an entire team effort for the Golden Eagles to come away with a victory. The play of the Southern Miss backline that dictated the match by controlling the ball, combined with the stellar goalkeeping of Kendell Mindnich, helped preserve the shutout for the Golden Eagles.
On the offensive side, it was junior midfielder Monica Maldonado that netted the lone goal of the contest which proved to be all that the Golden Eagles would need. Maldonado was assisted by sophomore midfielder Jenny Caracheo who threaded the needle perfectly with a precise pass, placing the ball on the foot of Maldonado in stride.
Breaking down the all-time record
UTEP leads the all-times series with an overall record of 10-1-0. Southern Miss is 1-4-0 when facing UTEP at home and 0-6-0 in road contests.
The last meeting on the pitch
The last meeting between the Golden Eagles and the Miners took place on September 17, 2017 in Hattiesburg, Miss. The Miners won the match 1-0 after Kennadie Chaudhary produced a late goal in the 89th minute of play.
The opponent
The UTEP Miners led by 18th year head coach and Texas native Kevin Cross will enter Sunday's contest with history in their favor.
UTEP will take the pitch on Sunday following a heart breaking 1-0 overtime loss to Louisiana Tech on Thursday night.
UTEP sophomore goalkeeper Caley Leask recorded a career-best eight saves in the match but a goal by Louisiana Tech's Connor Barker at the 90:37 mark in the match propelled Louisiana Tech to a narrow victory over the Miners.
What's on the line
Southern Miss will have a lot to play for on Sunday as it will be the final time that six seniors lace up their boots on their home turf. The Southern Miss senior class will look to have a memorable senior day as they will have the opportunity to defeat UTEP for the first time in their careers.
A win against UTEP on Sunday would also mark the fifth C-USA win for the Golden Eagles this season which would be the most recorded by a Southern Miss team since 2000. The 2000 squad finished the season with six C-USA wins.
