The win gave Arkansas a one-point lead in the final standings ahead of Vanderbilt who had 22 points. Tennessee (21) and Georgia (20) rounded out a very tight grouping atop the conference standings.

More importantly, though, the Razorbacks will head to Pensacola, Fla. for the 2025 SEC Soccer Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed.

Arkansas will receive a first-round bye (as will the top four teams in the standings) and get to face the winner of the first round match between No. 8-seed Mississippi State and No. 9-seed Alabama. The Razorbacks won both of the regular season meetings against the Bulldogs (4-2) and the Crimson Tide (3-1).

But the Razorbacks have more than a week to prepare for that and can afford to (and should) celebrate this regular season championship.

Here’s the final SEC standings and schedule for the tournament. The top 10 teams in the standings will advance to the championship tournament.

She also put up four blocks, which included one solo.

We’ll Leave You With This

It wasn't that long ago Arkansas was considered the best head coaching opportunity in the nation. Now, with LSU firing Brian Kelly (plus Penn State firing James Franklin and Florida firing Billy Napier), the Razorbacks may not even crack the top five by the end of the season. This is going to be a crazy offseason.
