The SEC Soccer Tournament is set to begin next week with Arkansas as the No. 1 overall seed.

So, it’s not surprise the Razorbacks picked up multiple All-SEC awards on Thursday, including coach Colby Hale being named the SEC Coach of the Year for the fourth time (2019, 2020, 2023, 2025).

Junior Kennedy Ball earned First Team All-SEC honors; Bella Field, Makenzie Malham and Vailana Tu’ua earned All-SEC second team honors; and Avery Wren was placed on the All-SEC third team.

This is Ball’s first career SEC honor after leading the SEC in assists in conference play with five and an average of .5 assists per game. She also was second in points for Arkansas with 10, including six assists.

Fields worked hard her award. She bounced back quickly from a broken nose, scoring twice in a game against Ole Miss and finished fourth in the SEC with four goals scored against in-conference opponents.

Tu’ua was also named to the All-SEC Freshman Team. The freshman scored all five of her goals this season in SEC games and accounted for three game-winning goals against Florida, Texas A&M and Alabama.

No. 4 Arkansas will begin SEC Tournament play on Tuesday the winner of Mississippi State and Oklahoma’s first round match at 4:30 p.m. on SEC Network.

  • Arkansas football didn’t make any changes to its Student-Athlete Availability Report on Thursday, but Mississippi State did. Leading rusher Fluff Bothwell wasn’t include in the latest report, which is an indicator that he’ll play in Saturday’s game. But starting offensive tackle Albert Reese IV was listed as doubtful and its unlikely he’ll suit up to face the Razorbacks. You can see the complete availability report below.
