ADMISSION IS FREE!
FIRST 500 fans at Thursday's match will receive a shaker at the main entrance.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee soccer team is set to kick off its 2025 campaign at home, hosting No. 1 North Carolina in a 7p.m. contest Thursday at Regal Soccer Stadium.

SEC Network will televise the match with Mike Watts (PxP) and Jill Loyden (Analyst) on the call.

Admission is free for all preseason and regular-season soccer matches. For fans planning to attend, note that Tennessee's clear bag policy will be in effect again this season. Regal Soccer Stadium will be a cashless venue for both concessions and the VolShop this season. Additionally, the first 500 fans at Thursday's match will receive a shaker at the main entrance.

NEW FACES: Tennessee added eight newcomers over the offseason with seven field players and one goalkeeper. Five are true freshman as the other trio arrive as transfers with SEC experience.

BACK AGAIN: UT returns 15 letterwinners and nine starters from the 2024 team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive season.

MATTERN MAGIC: Tennessee sophomore forward Reese Mattern is coming on the heels of a freshman season in which she earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors. Additionally, the Charlottesville, Virginia, native was called up to U.S. U-19 WNT Training Camps twice this summer.

SCOUTING THE TAR HEELS: The reigning NCAA champions sit at No. 1 in the United Soccer Coaches Preseason Poll and were picked as No. 1 in the ACC's Preseason Women's Soccer Coaches Poll. Carolina heads into the season led by key returners Kate Faasse and Tessa Dellarose. Faasse won the 2024 MAC Hermann Trophy after starting 27 contests and registering 15 points across the year.

STARTING WITH A STRONG SLATE: The Lady Vols are set to start their season with two top-10 matchups throughout the first three games. The season starts with No. 1 North Carolina. For its third contest of the season, UT will take on No. 8 UCLA on the road.

SEC PRESEASON PLAYERS TO WATCH: Five Tennessee soccer players were named to the SEC Preseason Watchlist, as announced by the conference on Tuesday. Ally Brown, Reese Mattern, Mac Midgley, Shae O'Rourke and Anaiyah Robinson were all tabbed as players to watch this season.
