MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee Soccer hits the road this week for the team's first regular-season road trip of the year, taking on the Ole Miss Rebels at 7 p.m. (CST) on Thursday at Ole Miss Soccer Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.

Leading the Nation
Senior forward Peyton DePriest is currently tied with Santa Clara's Kelsey Turnbow as the active NCAA D-I leader in career goals scored with 47 over her five-year career.
Last Time Out
The Blue Raiders (1-0-1) are coming off a double-overtime 1-1 draw against a really tough Samford team on Sunday evening. Senior Peyton DePriest took the ball off a free kick before entering the 18-yard box and drawing the foul to earn a penalty kick. DePriest faked out Samford's Morgan McAslan to jump right and netted the left-footed PK behind the keeper in the 19th minute to give the Blue Raiders the early 1-0 lead. Middle Tennessee maintained its 1-0 advantage until the Bulldogs answered in the 77th minute after a pass from Samford's Taylor Yount found the feet of Zoe Perrin, who made a sliding shot to even the game at one apiece. The Blue Raiders continued to battle the Bulldogs but the 110-minute effort eventually concluded in a 1-1 draw.
Scouting the Rebels
Ole Miss is in its 12th season under head coach Matt Mott. As the leader of the Rebels, Mott as collected a 118-84-26 record and led the Rebels to four NCAA tournament appearances.
The Rebels are off to a 0-0-1 start to the 2021 season, battling the Memphis Tigers to a 1-1 draw in Memphis on Sunday.
Ole Miss is led by senior Channing Foster, who scored a team-high five goals during the rebels 2020-21 campaign and earned a College Soccer News Third Team Preseason All-American nod entering the team's 2021 season. The Rebel's senior Molly Martin scored the team's only goal of the season against Memphis.
