Arkansas Clinches SEC Soccer Title

Arkansas soccer clinched the SEC regular-season title with a 3-1 win over Oklahoma at Razorback Field, with goals from Aniyah Nurse-Whyte, Erin Bailey and Natalie Wagner and an announced crowd of 2,721; coach Colby Hale and his seniors were honored after a season that overcame injuries and a tough schedule. Hale said the result validated the team’s progress after earlier setbacks, a sentiment echoed by Bailey about the squad’s resilience. No. 14 Arkansas opened the basketball preseason with an 89-61 exhibition win over Cincinnati and will travel to Memphis Monday for the Hoops for St. Jude Tip-Off Classic at FedExForum (8 p.m. on ESPNU), a charity exhibition that marks John Calipari’s return to coaching in Memphis and supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital; Malik Dia, Jeremiah Davenport and freshman Memphis native Billy Richmond III provided depth in the exhibition.
