After a long, 90-minute shift, the Lynx left the field with a draw against the Centre Colonels on October 20, 2024, in Memphis, Tennessee. RCWS will keep their heads up though, as they fiercely battled against one of their strongest opponents and found multiple opportunities to create attacking chances throughout the game.

Match Recap: Rhodes College vs. Centre College

The back line for the Rhodes Lynx really stepped up and shut down any opportunity Centre tried for. Mallory Goldstein had a phenomenal performance including lots of 1 v 1s won and lofted free kicks in dangerous attacking areas. Taylor Theofiledes found her head on the ball multiple times from set pieces that gave Centre a challenge to defend. Overall, a very hard effort put in by the Lady Lynx as a whole.

Team Statistics:

• Rhodes College: 14 shots (4 on goal), 1 save, 2 corner kicks, 13 fouls.
• Centre College: 7 shots (1 on goal), 4 saves, 2 corner kicks, 9 fouls.

This keeps RCWS tied for second with the Colonels, with a high probability of the two facing off again later in the SAA tournament. However, the Lady Lynx have high confidence if they do face off again due to the number of goal-scoring opportunities they created as a team, especially in the second half as they faced Centre. The Lynx continue to show determination as they've encountered challenging rivals throughout their season.

Looking Forward: Rhodes college vs. Hendrix college

The Rhodes Women's Soccer team will face their final regular season conference opponent on Saturday, October 26, 2024, in Conway, Arkansas. As the Lynx will take this hard-fought weekend to motivate them for Saturday, an exciting match should be played as a last hoorah for regular season play.
