The Ole Miss women's soccer team posted a convincing 2-0 victory over ULM on Sunday, snapping a recent slump with a performance that highlighted both offensive firepower and defensive solidity.
A Dominant Home Performance
From the outset the Rebels pressed hard, generating three shots in the opening 14 minutes and earning an early breakthrough when Becca Skinner tapped in a pass from Ava Ghoreishi at the 19:17 mark.
The momentum continued as Teaghan Irvin doubled the lead in the 43rd minute, her second goal of the season, with Isabelle Wright credited for the assist that underscored her first contribution of the campaign.
Defensively, Jen Handy was busy between the posts, making several key saves that preserved the clean sheet, while Anna Claire Jacobi’s early stop helped maintain the 2-0 advantage at halftime.
The second half saw a seamless transition as Taylor Prigge entered and immediately contributed a save to seal the shutout, completing a collective effort that left ULM with only two shots on target.
Statistically, Ole Miss dominated possession (58%), outshot the visitors 22-8 and finished with a 10-2 margin on goal attempts, a disparity that reflected the team’s control throughout the match.
The win also marked debuts for Lauren Montgomery and Marieke Ten Brink, who joined the roster and contributed to the squad’s depth, while the Rebels now turn their attention to a home clash with South Alabama on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT, streamed on SEC Network+.
