A Homecoming Night at The Bell

The Kentucky women’s soccer team is set to welcome Wright State to The Bell Soccer Complex on Sunday evening, kicking off at 7 p.m. ET. The match will be part of a weekend that blends competitive soccer with a community‑focused ‘Bark at The Bell’ initiative, allowing fans to bring leashed, well‑behaved dogs into a designated section of the stadium.

The Wildcats are looking to rebound from a narrow 2‑1 defeat at the hands of No. 8/11 Ohio State, a game that showcased the emergence of freshman forward Kyla Dawn, who recorded four goals and two assists while earning SEC Freshman of the Week honors. Midfielder Nadia Ramadan also contributed three penalty‑converted goals this season, underscoring her role as a key offensive threat.

Defensive Backbone and Goalkeeping

Center backs Michelle Moskau and Katherine Truitt anchor a backline that has played every minute of the first four matches, providing stability after a shaky start. Goalkeeper Megan Holland added four saves against Ohio State, bringing her season total to seven and highlighting her growing presence between the posts.

Looking ahead, Kentucky will host Louisville on Thursday, September 3, before turning its attention to senior day on Sunday, September 6, when the team will honor its graduating players in a game against Bowling Green State. All home matches in the 2026 schedule will be open to the public at no cost, reinforcing the program’s commitment to community access.
