KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Vols are back on Rocky Top this week, as Tennessee soccer hosts the Missouri Tigers Friday night at Regal Soccer Stadium. The SEC East divisional matchup will kick off at 7 p.m. on SEC Network.
GAMEDAY ADJUSTMENTS: To align with state and local physical-distancing guidelines for public gatherings, gameday seating at Regal Soccer Stadium will be approximately 25 percent of the venue's full capacity on a first-come, first-served basis with distanced seating arrangements.
Prior to arriving on campus, all fans are encouraged to check their temperature and complete a health self-screening. Face coverings (over the nose and mouth) are required for all guests as they enter, exit and move around Regal Stadium, as well as any time guests are unable to maintain the recommended physical distance from others who are not in their same household.
Admission and parking for all regular-season matches at Regal Soccer Stadium remain free of charge. In an effort to track attendance and help ensure safety, fans will be asked to scan a QR Code and "check-in." Fans cannot leave the stadium and be readmitted.
Gates to Regal Soccer Stadium will open one hour prior to kickoff. Guests will be required to enter at the main gate and exit at the southern-most gate located near the concession stand.
Fans should be reminded that UT's clear bag policy will be in effect. To avoid any additional touch points, fans are strongly encouraged not to bring bags unless necessary.

BROADCAST INFO: Friday's contest will be televised on SEC Network, with Mike Watts (play-by-play) and former Lady Vol defender Tori Beeler-Watson (color analyst) on the call. An online version of the broadcast will be available at this link.
Live stats will be provided via SIDEARM Stats, and fans can follow @Vol_Soccer on Twitter for live match updates.
LAST TIME OUT: Despite several scoring opportunities for Tennessee in the final minutes of regulation, the Vols could not find the equalizer as UT came up short at No. 8 Georgia 1-0 Friday night.
The Vols had seven shots and three corner kicks in the second half at UGA, including three shots and two corners in the final six minutes. UT's closest chance of the night came in the 62nd minute, when Tara Katz's 10-yard attempt ricocheted off the near post.
STOUT AT REGAL: Since 2017, the Vols sport an impressive 27-5-1 (.833) record at Regal Soccer Stadium — outscoring visiting opponents 74-26 over that span with 18 shutouts.
Most recently, UT knocked off No. 10 Vanderbilt 1-0 in its 2020 home opener on September 27, good for the Vols' first victory over the Commodores since 2013.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Tennessee holds a 5-2-1 series lead over Mizzou since 2012, with an unblemished 4-0 record against the Tigers at Regal Soccer Stadium.
In last year's matchup between the two programs, Missouri came out on top with a 2-0 victory in Columbia. The Tigers broke through with a pair of goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation to secure Mizzou's first shutout win in the series.
SCOUTING THE TIGERS: In his 25th season at the helm of Missouri soccer, head coach Bryan Blitz has his Tigers off to a 1-1 start to the 2020-21 campaign. Mizzou dropped its season opener at South Carolina 4-1 before bouncing back with a 2-1 triumph over No. 13 Vanderbilt last weekend.
Julissa Cisneros, Grace Kitts and Cassidy Nurnberger have each tallied a goal for the Tigers this season. Nurnberger is the reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Week after scoring the game-winning goal against Vanderbilt on Saturday.
UP NEXT: Tennessee will travel to Lexington, Kentucky, next weekend for its fourth consecutive SEC East contest. The Vols and Wildcats will square off in front of a national TV audience on Sunday, October 18, as the match will be aired on ESPNU. Kickoff is slated for 5 p.m. at the Wendell & Vickie Bell Soccer Complex.
