KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- No. 12 Tennessee is set to host its regular-season finale Thursday night as the Missouri Tigers visit Rocky Top. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Regal Soccer Stadium, with Senior Night recognition taking place 15 minutes prior to the match.

Admission and parking for all regular season matches at Regal Soccer Stadium is free of charge. Gates will open at 5:50 p.m., and fans should be reminded that UT's clear bag policy will be in effect.

Thursday's contest will be streamed live on SEC Network+, available online and through the WatchESPN app. Live stats will also be provided via SIDEARM Stats.

SENIOR NIGHT: The Tennessee soccer program will honor its senior class of seven - Anna Bialczak, Meghan Flynn, MacKenzie Gouner, Danielle Marcano, Rylie O'Keefe, Bunny Shaw and Shae Yanez - at approximately 6:45 p.m. Thursday night.

The group has combined for over 27,000 minutes played since 2015, totaling 60 goals, 64 assists and 38 shutouts. The 2018 senior class has additionally garnered three All-SEC accolades, nine SEC Honor Roll distinctions, three United Soccer Coaches All-Region honors and two United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Awards.

HISTORIC WIN IN COLLEGE STATION: Last time out, Tennessee (12-2-2, 6-2-1 SEC) laid down a barrage of four goals in six minutes late in the second half to claim a 4-0 victory at No. 5 Texas A&M Sunday afternoon. It was the first road win over a top-5 opponent in program history, in addition to being just the second win ever for UT over a top-5 team.

Senior forward Danielle Marcano tallied a bookend brace, while classmates Anna Bialczak and Bunny Shaw each added goals for the Volunteers. It was the first loss for the Aggies at home this season and the highest margin of defeat at home in Texas A&M history.

DONUTS ONLY: With 11 shutouts this season, the Vols are one clean sheet away from tying a program record that was set in 2003. The Tennessee defensive unit has allowed a staggeringly low eight goals this season, on pace to shatter the record-low of 16 goals allowed in 2012.

Senior keeper Shae Yanez currently owns a 0.49 goals-against average and an .864 save percentage this year. If those marks hold, both would stand as Tennessee single-season records.

BUNNY GARNERS NATIONAL ATTENTION: Senior striker Bunny Shaw was tabbed the TopDrawerSoccer National Player of the Week on Tuesday after logging two goals and two assists in key SEC victories over LSU and Texas A&M.

Less than 30 hours after helping the Jamaican National Team secure its first-ever Women's World Cup bid, Shaw returned to Rocky Top, came off the bench and scored the golden goal in double overtime as UT defeated LSU 2-1. Shaw recorded a goal and two assists in Tennessee's marquee victory in College Station.

Shaw was also named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week for her efforts over the past seven days.

FLYNN RECOGNIZED FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE: Tennessee midfielder Meghan Flynn was named to the 2018 SEC Community Service Team earlier this week. The senior from Arlington, Va. has partnered with Goals For Girls in Knoxville since the spring of 2015 in addition to being involved with several on-campus organizations over the past four years.

SERIES HISTORY: Tennessee holds a 4-1-1 edge over the Tigers since the series began in 2012, winning three of the last four contests. Last season, Bunny Shaw's golden goal on a free kick from 23 yards lifted the Vols to a 3-2 overtime victory in Columbia.

SCOUTING THE TIGERS: Missouri (6-9-2, 3-5-1 SEC) snapped a three-match losing skid with a 2-0 win against Florida on Sunday. The Tigers currently sit 10^th in the conference standings as they look to secure a spot in next week's SEC Tournament.

Mizzou ranks in the bottom-half of the league in nearly every statistical category, bringing the SEC's lowest scoring offense to Knoxville with 0.76 goals per game. Junior forward Sarah Luebbert is the squad's leading scorer with four goals, two assists and 10 points this season.

UP NEXT: Following the contest, the Vols will gear up for the SEC Tournament in Orange Beach, Ala. Tennessee has already secured a first-round bye and will begin postseason action on Tuesday, Oct. 30.
