Top-seeded Arkansas nearly landed a haymaker with four goals in the early minutes of its quarterfinal game against Auburn at the SEC Soccer Tournament on Tuesday.
The Tigers proved to be down but not out, though, and mounted a furious second-half comeback that fell just short at the Orange Beach (Ala.) Sportsplex.
Arkansas held on for a 4-3 victory and advanced to play in the tournament semifinals against fourth-seeded South Carolina on Thursday at 6 p.m. The Gamecocks defeated Missouri 3-2 in the quarterfinals.
The Razorbacks (8-1) are in the tournament semifinals for the fifth consecutive season.
