SERIES HISTORY
OU and Tennessee will play for the fifth time. It will be the first meeting between Oklahoma and Tennessee in Knoxville as SEC foes. The Sooners and Lady Vols played to a 0-0 tie in Oklahoma last season, while OU makes its first trip to Knoxville since a 3-1 loss in 2013. OU looks for its first win against Tennessee in series history.
LAST TIME OUT
Kayla Keefer became the first player in the nation to reach 20 goals, although No. 23 Arkansas was successful on set pieces as the Sooners dropped a Senior Night bout to the Razorbacks Oct. 23.
THE SCOUT
Tennessee enters the match at 6-5-4 overall and 1-5-3 in the SEC. The Lady Vols are looking for their first win since Sept. 11. They currently have six points in the league and are outside of the SEC Tournament field. Tennessee has a 45 RPI as of Sunday, Oct. 25.
The Lady Vols were ranked No. 24 in the preseason Intercollegiate Women's Soccer Organization for Coaches (IWSOC) Poll and also tied for fourth in the SEC Preseason Coaches Poll. Tennessee posted a few good results in non-conference play, earning a draw against No. 12 Virginia and wins against Northwestern and Rutgers.
BENCHMARK NUMBERS
The Sooners earned their berth to the 2026 SEC Tournament, reaching 15 points to set a program record for points and wins in a season during SEC play. OU is currently tied for fifth in the league standings heading into the final day of the regular season.
MAC HERMANN TROPHY WATCH LIST RECOGNITION
Junior forward Kayla Keefer was named to the Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List. Keefer is one of 30 players across the country tabbed to the list as she leads the nation in goals (20) and points (43).
NATIONAL HONORS
Kayla Keefer headlined the awards the week of October 19, taking home Top Drawer Soccer National Player of the Week honors in addition to her SEC laurels. She was also selected at number four in the publications top 100 midseason rankings and was named IWSOC National Player of the Week.
Paige Califf came in at number 57 in the TopDrawer rankings and Kate McCallister was slotted at 48 among freshmen.
RE-WRITING THE RECORD BOOK
Keefer set the program single-season goals scored and points record Oct. 15 at Mississippi State, breaking Whitney Palmer's record of 15 goals and 32 points from the 2009 season. She is currently tied with former Florida Gator and U.S. Women's National Team great, Abby Wambach, for the most hat tricks by an SEC player in a season with four. She also ranks third in school history for career goals (27).
NOTABLE NUMBERS
3: Oklahoma is looking for its third consecutive SEC road win after defeating Mississippi State and Ole Miss in the last road swing. It's also OU's third-ever trip to Knoxville and first since joining the SEC.
6: A win would guarantee the Sooners a winning record in conference play for the first time since the 2016 season, OU's last appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
7: OU is currently tied with Vanderbilt and Alabama for the most road wins this season among SEC teams. A win would bring OU to seven and break the tie at minimum with Vanderbilt, who hosts South Carolina.
26: As of Sunday, Oct. 25, Oklahoma has a 26 NCAA RPI. The Sooners are one of six SEC teams with a top-30 RPI.
