Nearby: Fayetteville, ARTexas soccer’s regular-season game against Arkansas over two months ago in Fayetteville, Arkansas, was a low-point breakdown. Allowing three goals and scoring one, the Longhorns’ play was unpredictable going into conference play. In its first game since its historic win against undefeated Vanderbilt, the Longhorns looked reinvigorated going into the final stretch of the tournament. Arkansas, which eliminated Kentucky from the conference tournament in its last game, played physically all season, as did Texas. Both attempted to move the ball downfield early, but defensive contests stopped their progress before they could create an attack. Advertisement In the 26th minute, however, Texas leaned into what has been its go-to strategy so far in the tournament. Texas freshman midfielder Caroline Swann found sophomore forward Ava McDonald downfield and sent a through pass.
