Central Arkansas Women’s Soccer Opens Road Campaign at Tulsa

Freshman Liza Dugan scores first goal as Bears face fifth‑ranked Golden Hurricane

The University of Central Arkansas women's soccer squad is set to begin its road schedule this Sunday, traveling to face Tulsa's Golden Hurricane at 7 p.m. local time. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN+, with online live stats complementing the stream.

The Bears opened the season at home against Oral Roberts on Wednesday, only to fall 0-1, leaving them with a 0-1 record as they head into their first away test.

Freshman forward Liza Dugan broke through for her first collegiate goal, assisted by sophomore midfielder Megan Moudy, while four other newcomers made their debut, adding depth to the early lineup.

Poll Position and Past Meetings

Tulsa entered the contest ranked fifth in the American Preseason Coaches Poll after a 9-6-5 campaign the previous year, having finished 4-3-3 in conference play before exiting the tournament in the first round.

The Golden Hurricane's preseason expectations reflect a program that has steadily built momentum, making the Bears' road test a valuable early benchmark for a team still shaping its identity.
