Kentucky Hosts No. 24 Vanderbilt for Sunday Matinee

LEXINGTON, Ky. – After a Thursday night draw at Florida, Kentucky (9-3-1, 3-1-1 SEC) returns to Lexington to face its fifth top 25 opponent of the season, welcoming No. 24 Vanderbilt (8-3-1, 2-2-1 SEC) to The Bell on Sunday. The match is set to kickoff at 1 p.m. ET and will be streamed live on SEC Network +.

The Wildcats are facing their fifth ranked opponent in their last seven matches, going 2-2 across the previous four. Kentucky is 2-0 in home SEC matches against top 25 teams, owning victories over No. 20 Oklahoma and No. 25 Alabama.

In its most recent outing, Kentucky stole a point on the road at Florida, with Thalia Morisi finding a 55th minute equalizer to push her team to a 1-1 tie. The Wildcats currently sit at 10 points in the SEC table through the first half of conference play, the best start under head coach Troy Fabiano.
