Auburn Soccer Hosts Ole Miss Tonight With the SEC’s Stingiest Defense

AUBURN — Auburn soccer is back at the Auburn Soccer Complex tonight at 6:30 for its second SEC match of the season, hosting Ole Miss on a night the athletics department is billing as “Pixels on the Pitch.”

The Tigers are 4-1-3 after last week’s 1-0 loss to No. 11 Alabama in the Iron Bowl of Soccer, played before 2,319 fans — the second-largest crowd in the complex’s history. Auburn’s back line leads the SEC and is tied for fifth nationally, allowing just two goals in eight matches with six shutouts, including clean sheets against No. 25 Clemson, Jacksonville State, Southern Illinois, Kennesaw State, UAB and Samford.

The match streams on SEC Network+. Auburn plays at Missouri on Sept. 24.
