Arkansas Razorbacks

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — No. 11 Arkansas already has its ticket punched to the upcoming SEC Championship Tournament in Pensacola, Fla. but didn’t help its seeding Sunday.

The Razorbacks (8-3-4, 6-1-2 SEC) ended their Sunday game against Missouri (4-10-2, 1-7-1) in a scoreless draw, but based on results of other games, the Razorbacks remain atop the SEC standings with just one game left to play.

Arkansas was held to two shots in the first half and saw its best scoring chances come in the second.

The Razorbacks controlled possession for a 25-minute period in the second half and added 11 shots and eight corner kicks, but couldn’t get anything across the goal line. The Tigers were forced to make four saves in the second half.

Possession evened out in the final five minutes. The Razorbacks outshot the Tigers, 13-6, for the match.

Arkansas will play its regular season finale next Sunday against Oklahoma. That match will air at 2 p.m. on SECN+.

The Top 10 teams in the final regular season SEC standings will advance to the championship tournament and a win against the Sooners will clinch the regular season SEC title for Arkansas.

Arkansas could still claim the regular season championship and the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament with a draw or loss. It will depend on the results of Vanderbilt, Georgia and Tennessee’s final regular season matches.
