AUSTIN, Texas – With the regular season portion of the 2024 Division I women's soccer season appearing in the windshield, The University of Texas will look to continue position itself among the top in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during a 1 p.m. match at LSU on Sunday, Oct. 13.
TELEVISION: Lyn Rollins (play by play) and Sara Pollock-Dickson (analyst) will serve as the broadcast talent for Sunday's SEC Network+ stream.
SERIES HISTORY:

- In each of their three wins over LSU, Texas has scored four goals:
- 4-0 on Nov. 4, 2001 in Austin.
- 4-3 (overtime) on Sept. 14, 2003 in Austin.
- 4-2 on Sept. 13, 2006 in Baton Rouge.
- The Longhorns have never lost a women's soccer match against the Tigers when scoring more than two goals during the match.
- UT win, 4-0, on Nov. 4, 2001 in Austin.
- UT overtime win, 4-3, on Sept. 14, 2003 in Austin.
- UT win, 4-2, on Sept. 13, 2006 in Baton Rouge.
- UT double overtime win, 2-2, on Sept. 18, 2007 in Austin.
- Including her tenue as head coach at Tennessee, Angela Kelly is 9-5-2 that is highlighted by a seven-match winning streak from Oct. 8, 2000 to Oct. 6, 2006 while in Knoxville.
- Kelly has a 3-3-0 all-time record against LSU in matches played in Baton Rouge and is looking for her first win over the Tigers in Louisiana since Oct. 9, 2005.
KICKING OFF:
- A potential win over LSU on Sunday afternoon would mark the 350th all-time victory throughout the history of the Texas women's soccer program.
- The Longhorns will travel to Louisiana with an all-time record of 349-214-67 (.607).
- The next clean sheet for Texas senior goalkeeper Mia Justus would be her 10th on the season, becoming the first Longhorn women's soccer student-athlete to be credited with 10-or-more clean sheets in a single season since Nicole Curry throughout the 2017 campaign.
- Over the course of the 2024 season, each time Justus has turned in a clean sheet, she has followed it with a clean sheet during the very next match.
- The occurrence has happened four different times this season.
- A 10th clean sheet for Justus would also become the most by a Texas women's soccer student-athlete during their senior season, breaking a three-way tie with Savannah Madden (2021) and Dianna Pfenninger (2008).
- One more clean sheet for Justus this season would be the 19th for the Ohio native over the course of her two-year career on the Forty Acres.
- The 19th would tie Justus with Alexa Gaul (2009-11) for fifth on the program's career solo clean sheet list.
- Over the course of the 2024 season, each time Justus has turned in a clean sheet, she has followed it with a clean sheet during the very next match.
- Additionally, with her next win between the pipes, Mia Justus will record her 40th career collegiate victory between her two seasons in Tallahassee (12) and two seasons in Austin (27).
- Entering Sunday's match, Texas senior midfielder Lexi Missimo leads the SEC with 24 points between eight goals, eight assists in 14 matches played so far this season.
- Missimo's eight goals are one shy of tying for the league lead, while her eight assists are two back of the conference's top spot.
