Blue Raiders match up against SEC foe Ole Miss

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee soccer returns for action for the final match of it's regular season non-conference schedule when the Blue Raiders welcome the Ole Miss Rebels to Blue Raider Field at 6:30 PM on Friday.

The Rebels come into Murfreesboro with a 2-3-2 record after a comeback 2-1 overtime victory against the Oklahoma Sooners last Sunday. They are paced by forward Jennifer Hance who leads the squad with five goals.
