Tennessee Wins Exhibition Match Against Notre Dame, 3-0
August 09, 2022 | Soccer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The preseason 11th-ranked Lady Vols picked up an exhibition win over 16th-ranked Notre Dame on Tuesday, winning 3-0 at Lynn Family Sports Vision and Training Center in Louisville.
The contest was played as three 30-minute periods with unlimited subs allowed. Twenty-six Tennessee players took the field with 10 seeing their first collegiate action, including eight freshmen and redshirt-freshmen Jenna Stayart and Ally Zazzara.
The first period ended in a 0-0 draw, but Tennessee took the lead in the 33rd minute when 5th-year senior Abbey Burdette headed in a corner kick from senior Claudia Dipasupil. Burdette struck again four minutes later, getting a head on a set piece and bouncing it into the net off a Notre Dame defender.
Tennessee held the Fighting Irish without a shot on goal until the 68th minute when junior MacKenzie Haba logged a save on a well-struck ball up the middle.
Freshman Kameron Simmonds added UT's third and final goal in the 72nd minute, slotting a shot into the side net off an assist by fellow rookie Macaira Midgley.
Notre Dame got a couple looks late in the game, but freshman Abby Reisz was there to collect two saves, and Tennessee went on to record the shutout.
UP NEXT: The Lady Vols will host Dayton in an exhibition match at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday at Regal Soccer Stadium.
