KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In its final home SEC regular season match, Tennessee tied South Carolina, 1-1.

Mac Midgley helped secured the point at home for the Lady Vols after successfully converting on a penalty kick late in the match, marking her third goal of the season.

UT (7-4-4, 2-3-3) dominated in the possession game, keeping the ball 65 percent of the match. Additionally, the Big Orange posted 19 total shots (11 on frame) to South Carolina's seven while also earning 16 corner kicks.

Ally Brown and Midgley, who have been mainstays for Tennessee, each created three chances as Reese Mattern put up two shots on target.

Redshirt junior goalkeeper Ally Zazzara once again showed poise in goal with three saves.

The Lady Vols offense rolled out early with six shots on goal by Sammi Woods, Midgely, Brown, Nyla Blue, Mattern and Luciana Latino to begin the first frame.

Tennessee tested the South Carolina defense with six corner kicks, four of which in a seven minute span.

Catherine Barry opened up scoring for the Gamecocks with a goal in the 30th minute after two previous saves for Zazzara.

Brown then tried to create an opportunity for the Lady Vols late in the first half but was unable to convert.

After entering the break down one, Mattern, Woods, and Midgely continued to create some movement but shots were saved by South Carolina's Christinia Tsaousis who finished the night with seven saves.

In its seventh corner kick of the second half, Latino put yet another shot on goal for the Lady Vols but was unable to break through.

With three minutes remaining in the match, Midgley was set to take her first penalty kick attempt of the season after Sammi Woods was fouled in the box. Midgley then secured the equalizer after booting it in the left side of the net.

The Gamecocks then created their final chance of the night following a free kick, but Zazzara came up big in the 90th minute, earning her third and final save of the night.
