Thursday’s season-opening victory was highlighted by a brace from sophomore Anna Sikorski, who only needed 20 minutes to double her freshman season goal total. Another sophomore—Alexis Tylenda—also registered a multi-point performance, as the 2024 SEC All-Freshman Team member opened her year with a goal and an assist. Morisi also added a goal to the tally, opening her senior season by scoring her first Wildcat goal. Junior Tanner Strickland also had an assist in the contest. Freshmen Khadijah Cissé and Megan Holland split halves in goal, with the Wildcat backline only allowing one shot in 90 minutes.

The Wildcats are currently in the midst of a 15 match unbeaten streak at the Bell, dating back to October 2023. Since the beginning of the 2023 season, Kentucky is 17-1-6 on its home pitch.
