In the shot that set up that first goal, how did Reese get that much top spin onto that ball, from that position, and with that much height???

Tennessee junior forward Kate Runyon lifted the No. 5/6 Lady Vols to a 2-0 win at Missouri Thursday night after recording her first-career brace.

With the shutout victory over the Tigers (4-4-1), UT (7-1-1) now has eight clean sheets through nine games on the season and holds a +20 goal differential. Throughout nine matches, Tennessee has had four players register two or more goals in a match.

With a scoreless game through 44 minutes of play, Reese Mattern and Skylar Miller both put shots on goal but Missouri's Kate Phillips made the saves. Runyon then acted swiftly off the rebound after Phillips' save deflected back to her and poked it in the net to break through for the Big Orange.

After heading into the break with a 1-0 lead, the Lady Volunteers continued to apply defensive pressure and control both sides of the field. In the 56th minute, senior defender Ally Brown sailed it down field to Runyon who was able to knock it in for her second score of the night and extend the lead to 2-0.

Cayden Norris, who started in goal for Tennessee, came up clutch in the second half with a pair of saves after Missouri tried to answer. The Johnson City, Tennessee, native's final save of the night included a leaping save in the 81st minute to secure the shutout result. Overall, Norris had three saves, bringing her season total to 21.

Missouri's goalkeeper, Phillips, secured seven saves on the night as Landis Canada logged a pair of shots for the Tigers.

Tennessee outshot Mizzou 12-to-5 with nine coming on frame while also earning five corner kicks on the night.

UP NEXT: The Lady Vols return home to Regal Stadium Sunday for a 2 p.m. ET matchup versus LSU.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The LSU Soccer team (5-4-1, 0-1-1 SEC) will face No. 5 Tennessee (7-1-1, 1-1-0 SEC) for a ranked matchup on Sunday, September 21 at 1 p.m. CT in Regal Soccer Stadium.

Sunday’s match between the Tigers and the Volunteers will be streamed on SEC Network+. Live stats and streaming of the match can be found here.

The Matchup

LSU is 5-14-5 all-time against Tennessee, having beat the Volunteers 1-0 in Baton Rouge the last time they met during the 2023 season.

Tennessee soccer entered the 2025 season unranked but quickly entered the national polls after two top-five wins in three matches to start the season. Currently, the Lady Vols are No. 5 in United Soccer Coaches Poll rankings. UT’s highest ranking in the program’s history came in week four when the squad earned a No. 1 national ranking.

The Volunteers concluded their non-conference slate with an unbeaten overall record of 6-0-1. In that timespan, UT also shut out its opponents while scoring 19 goals. Through the seven matches of non-conference play, Tennessee has had eight different goal-scorers.

Their one loss on the season came in their SEC opener against Mississippi State, where the Bulldogs came out with a 3-2 win.

Tennessee shares third place in the conference rankings for most goals thus far with 23 total and are second in the assists category with 27. They’ve only allowed three goals this season, ranking first in the SEC in shut outs with eight on the year.
