Soccer concedes first shutout of season to Memphis

CHANCE ROBERTSON [email protected]

The Ole Miss Rebels played the Memphis Tigers in a home match on Sunday night and fell to a strong Memphis team in a hard-fought 2-0 contest. The Rebels got off to a rocky start against Memphis. In the fourth minute of the game, the Rebels conceded a well-placed strike by the Tigers’ forward Marie Levasseur that gave Memphis a lead it held for the entirety of the match. Ole Miss struggled for most of the first half, with zero shots in the opening 30 minutes, but the Rebels were able to open up the game in the final 15 minutes of the half, with three shots during that stretch. Goalkeeper Marnie Merritt made two saves in the first half — following Memphis’ opening goal — to keep the deficit at one PHOTO: CHRISTIAN JOHNSON Julia Phillips attempts to keep the ball away from a Memphis player on Sunday night.

COLUMN Ole Miss’ offense has to be much better going forward

JUSTIN DIAL [email protected]

It happened, again. Alabama beat Ole Miss, again. The Tide came to Oxford and made an example out of Ole Miss. After a brief moment of glory following Jordan Ta’amu’s touchdown pass to D.K. Metcalf on the first play of the game, the Crimson Tide demonstrated just how dangerous it is. The Rebel defense didn’t surprise anyone this week. Allowing 62 points is unacceptable against any team, especially Alabama, but nobody is surprised. The gunslinging Tua Tagovailoa makes Alabama practically unstoppable on offense, and with Jalen Hurts as his backup quarterback, Alabama head coach Nick Saban has nothing to worry about, under center.
