From Shauna Taylor
“I’m really proud of our group. It was a tough golf course today with the wind blowing, but we persevered. I told the team that teamwork helps us accomplish our goals and every single person this week contributed to this victory. It says a lot about this group of young ladies and their fight. It is the best fall we’ve had since I’ve been at Arkansas and we are heading in the right direction. I also know that we have things we can tidy up to keep improving.
“It was really great golf today by Alana (Uriell). A 4-under par in this wind was extremely impressive. The rest of the group had to fight their tails off all day. Dylan (Kim) did a great job, I know she didn’t finish the way she wanted to, but she was very solid all day long.
“Maria (Hoyos) – one of my goals was to provide an opportunity for learning and getting experience that you can’t create at home. I’m really proud of her last two rounds. I’m excited about Maria and her progress.
“I’m grateful for this group and I told them ‘we is always greater than me’ and we showed that this week.”

Razorbacks host Vols in Senior Night on Thursday
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas closes out the 2017 regular season Thursday night when it hosts No. 19 Tennessee for Senior Night at Razorback Field.
First kick is scheduled for 7 p.m. and will be televised on SEC Network+.
Arkansas (9-8-1, 4-4-1 SEC) is coming off another split home and away weekend in which it fell to Alabama in the late minutes, but bounced back to defeat Kentucky, 2-0, three days later for its third-straight conference road win.
Of those three wins, all have come by way of the shutout. The clean sheet has been Arkansas’ calling card this year as seven of its nine victories have been by shutout and all 13 of their conference points have come by shutting out the opponent.
Arkansas will hope to come away with its second conference home victory of the year when it faces the Volunteers tomorrow night. It will also be the last home match for the careers of Jessi Hartzler, Reid Sibley, Katie Kienstra, Jordan Harris, Qyara Winston, and Hannah Neece.
Combined, the six players have accounted for 19 goals, 13 assists, 51 points, six shutouts, and 68 saves. Hartzler comes into Thursday with the most goals (12) among all active Razorbacks with her most recent score coming off a corner kick on Sunday against Kentucky. It was her sixth game-winning goal of her career.
The Razorbacks will be facing a Tennessee (13-3-1, 5-3-1 SEC) team that has dropped its last two matches after winning 13 of its first 15 matches this year. Freshman Khadija Shaw leads all Volunteers with 13 goals and 30 points, while goalkeeper Shae Yanez has tended the net in all 17 matches and has accumulated a 0.84 goals against average.
