Did You Notice?
Two Vanderbilt soccer players were honored with weekly awards on Monday. Olivia Stafford was named SEC Freshman of the Week for her role in the Commodores going 2-0 against Auburn and Kentucky.
Stafford was responsible for two of the three Vanderbilt goals between the two games. Her goal against Auburn in the 13th minute of the game turned out to be the game-winning goal. In the 2-1 win over Kentucky, she dished the ball to Sydney Watts, who scored the game-winning goal in the 75th minute.
Watts, with her goal that gave her team a second consecutive victory, also earned SEC Offensive Player of the Week. Watts also scored Vanderbilt’s first goal of the game against the Wildcats on Sunday in the 66th minute.
With the successful weekend, Vanderbilt moved to 9-3-1 on the season and 3-2-1 in SEC play. The Commodores return to the field Friday night in Nashville against Missouri. The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. on SEC Network+.

Commodores Quote of The Day
“[Quarterback Don] Orr hadn’t hit a lick in practice. We didn't know for sure his elbow had recovered from the injury in the final season game against Tennessee. I was going to start Tommy Harkins at quarterback if we kicked off, and said so to the team. Something like a tear came up in Orr’s eye so I said to him, ‘Are you ready?’ He said he was, so I said, ‘Get in there.’”Art Guepe
