Now: Arkansas soccer is opening its 2025 season against Iowa. Taylor Tommack places the ball down in front of the Razorbacks bench for a second-half free kick.
Then: Tommack stepped forward near the corner of Arkansas’ box to challenge a cross in an exhibition against Nebraska on March 30, 2024, at Swope Park in Kansas City.
Now: She places the ball, just a step off the sideline, and assesses her options. Coach Colby Hale had told her to shoot but to make it seem innocuous.
Then: Tommack challenged her attacker on the left side, a tackle she’d made countless times before.
