Strong second half lifts Lady Rebels to win

Monday’s Ole Miss soccer match fit the term “tale of two halves” perfectly.

After scrapping back and forth with The Citadel only to take a 1-1 tie into the half, the Lady Rebels exploded for five goals after the break to top the visiting Lady Bulldogs 6-1. (September 13, 2011, Page 6)

Cunningham lifts OM past Kentucky

Ole Miss’ 2-1 overtime win on Thursday’s Senior Night could not have been scripted any better.

With postseason aspirations still hanging in the balance, it seemed only fitting that the Lady Rebels’ lone senior, Taylor Cunningham, would score the golden goal in overtime that lifted Ole Miss past Kentucky and kept their post-season hopes alive.

Tied at 1-1 with the first overtime period winding down, Ole Miss midfielder Dylan Jordan put a crossing pass just in front of the Kentucky net from the left flank.

After the ball was kicked around a bit by Ole Miss’ Erin Emerson and a Kentucky defender in the box, Cunningham was able to swoop in from the right side and bury the loose ball past keeper Sydney Hiance. (October 22, 2010, Page 6A)
