LEXINGTON, Ky. – No. 20/21 Kentucky  will welcome the South Carolina Gamecocks to The Bell on Sunday for the annual de facto Southeastern Conference Men’s Soccer Championship.
 
First touch is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET and the match will be streamed live on ESPN3.

The setup and history
Both affiliate members of Conference USA for men’s soccer, Kentucky (6-2-2, 3-1-0 C-USA) and South Carolina (4-6-1, 0-2-1 C-USA)) are the only two Southeastern Conference  schools that sponsor varsity men’s soccer. As such, the fixture is colloquially known as the SEC Championship Game.
 
UK trails the all-time series 6-7-3, but is 4-3-1 when playing in Lexington. The Gamecocks won the last time the two teams played, a year ago in Columbia, 2-1.
 
Freshman goalkeeper Enrique Facusse is ranked 17th in the country with a goals-against average of 0.65.

The first 150 fans and 150 students that enter The Bell will receive vuvuzelas.

Additionally, UK will be giving away the sixth of nine editions in this season’s match posters.
