Instead, Arkansas and Alabama challenged each other in a match filled with runs and missed opportunities that took it into double sudden-death overtime. In the end, Alabama couldn’t find the back of the net and tied 0-0 against Arkansas.
“I don’t think I’m going to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what to tell our team of what to do better or what not to do,” coach Todd Bramble said. “We’ll never see a team like this again for the rest of the year, unless we see this same team again in the postseason.”
Alabama broke two records. Alabama broke the 10th most shots, shooting 272 shots on the season with four games left to play. Alabama also shot 121 shots on goal, ninth most in school history. The Crimson Tide has scored 32 goals this season.
The full regulation game may not have been Alabama’s best work offensively, but the Crimson Tide’s defense kept Arkansas in check.
Both halves had a slow starts with poor footwork. Alabama tallied 12 fouls total while the Razorbacks notched 15.
“I think when we come out at each other we just have to settle into sort of a rhythm and find our rhythm and fight what sort of feels like a storm that you’re playing against them when you play that team and give our players credit,” Bramble said.
Alabama took home a 1-0 win Sunday at Missouri.
