🔼 Queens of the Conference. Bulldog women's soccer etched their name into the history books on Sunday night, clinching sole possession of the SEC Regular Season Championship with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Texas A&M. The No. 3-ranked Bulldogs (15-1-0, 9-0-0 SEC) were propelled by goals from Ally Perry and Elle McCaslin, along with a commanding defensive display led by goalkeeper Maddy Anderson. Head coach James Armstrong also reached a personal milestone with the win, tying the program record for most coaching wins with 58.

🗣️ "This is an incredibly special night for our program. To win the regular season is a testament to the determined work ethic of the players, coaches and staff…Thank you to everyone for the sacrifices they have made and the fans who have supported us all season." - James Armstrong
