Sad to hear of Wilson's injury. I assume she's torn another ACL or had a season-ending knee injury of some kind. Very tough luck for her. Wish her well.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee continues its non-conference homestand on Thursday with a 6:30 p.m. ET matchup against Kennesaw State that will be streamed on SECN+.

The Lady Vols (2-2-1) are coming off a 7-0 victory over Tennessee Tech in Regal Stadium on Sunday. Sophomore Jordan Fusco carded a brace while fifth-year seniors Abbey Burdette and Mackenzie George, redshirt-junior Jaida Thomas, sophomore Taylor Huff and freshman Macaira Midgley each added one.

KSU (1-4-1) enters the contest on the heels of a 7-0 loss at home against Georgia on Sunday.

SCOUTING KENNESAW STATE: The Owls went 9-8-2 overall last season and 4-3-2 in conference play, placing sixth in the regular season before finishing runner-up in the ASUN Tournament. KSU, who was picked to finish fourth in the ASUN this season as voted on by the league's head coaches, returned 17 letterwinners from the 2021 squad and added 14 newcomers.
VS ASUN: Tennessee is 4-0-2 all-time against ASUN schools. The two ties came a week apart during the 2015 season in the form of scoreless draws against Liberty and Lipscomb.

NELSON DISHING: Redshirt-junior Maria Nelson has doled out assists in three straight games, surpassing her total of two from the 2021 season.

TRACKING THOMAS: Jaida Thomas has now tallied five goals over the last four games, moving her career total to 30. She stands alone at third on UT's all-time career goals list, trailing No. 2 Hannah Wilkinson by three and No. 1 Kylee Rossi by 13.

JUST HUFF THINGS: Through the four games in which she's been active, sophomore Taylor Huff has racked up three goals and three assists. The 2021 SEC Freshman of the Year has taken 15 shots, 10 of which have been on frame.

TENNESSEE ON TOP: The Lady Vols were picked to finish first in the SEC as voted on by the conference's 14 head coaches. UT is coming off a 2021 campaign in which it won a program-best 20 games, clinching an SEC Tournament Championship and going 20-3 en route to the NCAA Round of 16.

SOCCER PREVIEW: Lady Vols vs. Kennesaw State

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Lady Vols (2-2-1) are set to take on Kennesaw State (1-4-1) Thursday night at Regal Soccer Stadium. Match kicks off at 6:30 P.M. EST.




The Lady Vols won in dominant fashion against Tennessee Tech on Sunday. Jordan Fusco, Jaida Thomas, Mackenzie George, Abbey Burdette, Taylor Huff, and Macaira Midgley all contributed goals as the Lady Vols blanked the Golden Eagles 7-0. The Lady Vols had 13 shots on goal as opposed to Tennessee Tech’s four and had eight corner kicks to Tennessee Tech’s one.




Kennesaw State is coming off the wrong side of a 7-0 rout against Georgia. The Owls were outshot 31-7 and only one of those seven shots was on goal. Unlike Tennessee, Kennesaw State’s opening stretch has been against unranked competition, with its lone win coming on the road against Presbyterian.




Some key players to watch for the Owls are forwards Stella Allen and Macie Rainwater.




Allen has two goals in the first six games of her college career, making an early impact for her team. Rainwater has also scored a pair of goals to start the season. She brings valuable experience to the lineup as she was a member of the 2021 ASUN All-Freshman team and led the Owls in scoring in 2021.




For the Lady Vols, look out for midfielder Jordan Fusco and forward Jaida Thomas.




Fusco netted a pair of goals in Sunday’s win and hopes to continue the trend tonight. Thomas has scored at least once in each of the last four matches so look for her to lead the charge once again.
