They were unranked so no clue, what do you think?

Hopefully they will be ranked in the top 15. Better be ready when they play UCLA away.

UCLA just defeated Georgia in Athens 1-0 .

Gotta take care of Eastern Kentucky before worrying about UCLA..

Next years Lady Vol is tearing it up at Bearden.

Jayla Blue with 3 goals.

The Joe Kirt haters are gonna have to take a walk for a little bit.

Brian Pensky never knocked off the number 1 team in the country or beat UNC while coaching at UT.

That would be a shocker if that score holds

Whoa, they were praising Georgia in the SEC Network

With their 2-0 win over the Tarheels in tonight's season opener, @Vol_Soccer claims the first win over a No. 1-ranked opponent in program history.

It is the first time since 2002 that a reigning @NCAASoccer Women's national champion has lost its season opener.

Congratulations, LV Soccer! In the checkerboards!

 

[VolBalls33]

Wow didn't expect to shut out the Tar Heels!!! Great win!! Anyone know what the attendance was for the game?

 

[VolBalls33]

I see attendance was 1197, is that about average? Hoping fans show up Sunday after beating #1!!

Love that, I heard some of the team mates calling Shae, “Bunny Shae”

The “Bunny Shae” celebration dance.




The nickname must be in honor of the best Lady Vol soccer player of all time Bunny Shaw who plays for Manchester City in England.

Thanks! I was wondering what the backstory might be on that!
So great to see teammates (in any sport) enjoying the fruit of their labors together!

Tennessee Topples #1 North Carolina, 2-0, to Open 2025 Season - University of Tennessee Athletics

In its season-opener and for the first time in program history, Tennessee soccer took down the No. 1 team after defeating defending national champions North ...

utsports.com

KNOXVILLE, TENN. – The Tennessee soccer team started its 2025 campaign by tallying the program's first victory over the top-ranked team in the nation, as it logged a 2-0 victory over North Carolina, the defending national champion.

The Lady Vols' win over the Tar Heels marks the first season-opening triumph over a reigning NCAA champion since 2002 when Santa Clara defeated Stanford.

The result also marks head coach Joe Kirt's second career top-10 win, with the first one coming in the 2024 season when UT defeated No. 5/7 Memphis, 1-0.

"We didn't change anything tonight for UNC," said Kirt. "We were ourselves. This team has been connected all year. We talk about it all the time—our voices, our energy, looking after teammates and they did exactly that tonight. They covered for one another, stepped up and made plays."
