LITTLE ROCK, AR. – Little Rock Women's Soccer is set to face the Lindenwood Lions in a decisive Ohio Valley Conference matchup that will determine the regular season champion. The Trojans enter Sunday's contest tied for first place in the OVC standings with Tennessee Tech, making this the final game of the regular season and a direct battle for the conference title.
Lindenwood, last year's OVC Tournament champion, enters the matchup as a familiar and formidable opponent. The Trojans and Lions last met twice during the 2024 season—battling to a scoreless draw in St. Charles before meeting again in the OVC Tournament in Cookeville, where Lindenwood edged Little Rock 1-0. Across five total meetings, the Lions hold an 8-2 scoring advantage, though the Trojans' recent draw marked a significant sign of growth and increasing competitiveness for the program.
Head coach Kelly Farrell said, "Sunday's game is a huge matchup. I'm really proud of the team for getting to this point and being able to have ownership over our postseason fate. They've worked incredibly hard all year and I know they are locked in for tomorrow's battle against Lindenwood. Coleman has given us a great home field advantage all year and we look forward to protecting our home turf against Lindenwood."
Team captain and senior Senni Thake added, "We're really excited for tomorrow's game and the opportunity to compete for the OVC regular season title! This group has worked so hard all year, and it's been amazing to see everything come together. Protecting our home field and staying undefeated here means a lot to us. I know everyone is locked in, focused, and ready to make tomorrow unforgettable."
Sunday's match will be held at Coleman Sports Complex with kickoff set for 1 p.m. The game will serve as both the Pink Game and Alumni Day — a fitting stage for Little Rock to chase its first-ever OVC regular season title in front of its home crowd.
