The Auburn soccer team continued its magical season with a hard fought draw against rival Alabama on the Plains this Thursday.
Karen Hoppa’s team may no longer be undefeated, but the Tigers’ (11-1-2) record has them ranked in the top 15 of most major polls as we approach the end of the regular season. With success sustaining, the Auburn family is beginning to flood Auburn Soccer Complex to show their support.
Thursday’s “Iron Bowl of Soccer” showdown vs. Alabama attracted 1,898 fans to the pitch. That attendance number was good enough for fourth on the all-time attendance list. It was also the third time Auburn soccer has drawn more than 1,000 fans to the turnstiles this season, as Thursday’s game outdrew the SEC opener against Vanderbilt (1,337) and the Tigers second most recent home game against Ole Miss (1,121) significantly.
Auburn was able to use the momentum of a packed house to earn a 1-1 draw after the Tigers fell behind 1-0 early in the second half. The team will hope to carry the momentum over as they enter a two-game road trip against Tennessee and Kentucky starting on Sunday.
The Auburn family will get a chance to set the all-time attendance record when The Tigers return to the Plains for their final home contest of the season against Georgia on October 24.
