Razorbacks continue spring schedule with unique matchup Friday

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas plays its next installment of its 2018 spring exhibition schedule Friday and the opponent will be a unique one.

The Razorbacks face off with the Tulsa Soccer Club’s U15 Boys Team at Razorback Field with first kick set for 6:30 p.m.

Friday’s exhibition is the second of four spring matches for the Razorbacks with two coming against SEC opponents (Mississippi State, Ole Miss), and one against a team from the Big 12 (Kansas State).

Arkansas is fresh off a 1-0 win over Mississippi State earlier in the month, getting a 31st minute header goal from sophomore-to-be Taylor Malham.

It’s been a banner month for Malham as she was invited to train with the U.S. Women’s National U19 Team earlier this spring and will be traveling with Switzerland with the U18 team for a two-match tour overseas next week.

Arkansas is coming off an 11-win season last fall, which included a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five years.

Arkansas also reached its second-straight SEC Tournament final, winning three matches in five days to become the lowest-seeded team ever to reach the tournament’s final match.

Kick-off Friday is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Razorback Field and will be free admission.
