Vanderbilt Soccer Takes Down Auburn: The Anchor
Vanderbilt soccer picked up a home win Thursday night with a 1-0 victory over Auburn.
Vanderbilt got off to a fast start offensively with the lone goal in the game coming from Sydney Watts off an assist from Olivia Stafford and Maci Teater in the 13th minute.
After that, Vanderbilt and Auburn fought tooth and nail the rest of the game. But it was the Commodores’ defense that was the highlight of the game. Auburn managed six shots on goal, but goalie Sara Wojdelko came up clutch by saving all six of them.
Vanderbilt’s offense produced 11 total shots compared to 10 from Auburn, but only three of the Commodores’ shots were in net. The win marked Vanderbilt’s second win in its last three games.
Up next, Vanderbilt heads to Lexington for a date with Kentucky on Sunday. The game is scheduled for 12 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on SEC Network+.
