Arkansas soccer coach Colby Hale has long spoken about the importance of leaning on his team’s more experienced players.
That was part of the No. 13 Razorbacks’ success against then-No. 2 Notre Dame, in which they earned a 2-2 draw behind strong performances from their veterans.
Junior Kennedy Ball had several dynamic runs and combinations, scoring the opener and earning the penalty to tie, which senior Zoe Susi converted. Sophomore Jaylin Brownlee — who started 18 of 21 games last season — competed well against a strong Fighting Irish midfield while senior Makenzie Malham had a standout performance in the backline.
