MEMPHIS, Tenn. – With two overtime wins already to its credit this season, the Kentucky men’s soccer team will begin the month of September in Memphis.

The Wildcats will visit the Tigers on Saturday, and the match has been moved up to a 3 p.m. ET/2 p.m. CT kickoff. The game was originally planned to be played at an off-campus site under the lights, but do to conditions associated with Tropical Storm Harvey, officials decided to move the game back onto Memphis’ on-campus Park Avenue Pitch in an afternoon window.

Memphis will stream the match via a paid service, and provide live results.

The setup
Kentucky will be playing a second straight match in the state of Tennessee. Saturday’s showdown will take place in the western reach of the state, after Kentucky won 1-0 in double overtime at East Tennessee State University on Tuesday.
