The Alabama soccer team fell in both of its matches this weekend on an SEC road trip. Texas A&M won 5-0 in College Station on Friday, and Arkansas prevailed 3-1 in Fayetteville on Sunday.

The two losses dropped Alabama to 7-5-2 on the season and 2-4-2 in SEC play.

The Aggies (12-2-1, 6-1-1 SEC) scored three times in the first half and then added two more in the second frame to secure their victory. Shea Groom scored twice for Texas A&M to lead all scorers.

Texas A&M outshot Alabama, 11-10, putting forth an efficient effort, scoring three times on five shots in the first half. Junior Molly Atherton led all players with three shots, putting two on frame.

Jordan Day and Renee McDermott split the shutout for the Aggies as UA goalkeeper Shelby Church allowed a season-high four goals in 56 minutes of action.

Arkansas (6-7-1, 3-4-1 SEC) scored two goals in the first half before Alabama was able to get on the scoreboard. Freshman Merel Van Dongen buried a penalty kick in the 63rd minute to pull the Tide within one. The goal was the second on the season for the rookie.

The Razorbacks would put the game away in the 86th minute with a third goal to hand the Tide its first weekend without at least a point to add to the standings this season.

The two teams fired off 13 shots each, with Alabama recording nine of those in the second half. Van Dongen led all players with four shots, putting two on frame.

The Tide returns home to the Alabama Soccer Stadium for a four-game homestand, starting Friday, Oct. 12 against Mississippi State.
