Good morning, Tiger fans. Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Auburn Morning Rush.
Thursday is a busy day for Auburn athletics, so let’s take a look at what’s on tap.
Auburn soccer looks to grab its first win in SEC play by traveling to Fayetteville and facing the defending SEC champion Arkansas Razorbacks at 6 p.m. CT. The Tiger’s unbeaten streak came to an end last Friday when Missouri knocked off Auburn, 1-0 in Columbia. A goal by Missouri’s Kylie Dobbs in the 33rd minute was the difference in the match.
Thursday marks a special day for Auburn baseball, as they begin their quest for a third College World Series appearance in four seasons by opening fall camp. There are plenty of returning stars, as well as a plethora of transfers and high school signees that will grace the 2023 roster.
Finally, four members of Auburn women’s tennis will travel to North Carolina to compete in a showcase alongside members of a handful of other programs across the nation.
Take a deeper look into the world of Auburn athletics with today’s Auburn Morning Rush.
