Arkansas soccer coach Colby Hale put his team through a gauntlet of a nonconference schedule to prepare it for games like Thursday.
The No. 7 Razorbacks travel to face No. 10 South Carolina at 6 p.m. Central on Thursday at Eugene E. Stone III Stadium in Columbia, S.C. It marks the sixth time Arkansas will face a team ranked in the United Soccer Coaches Top 20 at the time of the match.
The Razorbacks also host No. 13 Mississippi State on Sunday.
“You’ve played as brutal as a schedule that’s ever been played,” Hale said Sept.
