Ole Miss and South Alabama meet on the pitch for the eighth time Saturday afternoon with a series record near .500. The Rebels lead by a single game entering the match at 1 p.m.

USA enters the match with Ole MIss the final regular season opponent for the Jaguars. As the Sun Belt Champion with guaranteed entry into the NCAA tournament, USA will wait nine days to find out its postseason opponent before traveling to the Cary area of North Carolina.

The Rebels, while not having an automatic bid to the tournament, are playing their way to an at-large bid, but a result in the weekend's match could be pivotal for the home side. Ole Miss has floated around the top 25 of the United Soccer Coaches' poll throughout the season, and as of April 6th is receiving 27 votes. The Rebs have defeated Sun Belt opponents in their last two games and have won their last five matches. In out of conference games, Ole Miss has won four straight.

NOTES

THEY SAID IT
Head coach Richard Moodie
- State of the team: "We train really well. Monday through Friday, we look really good. We've had days where players are in-and-out of practice, or games, and that hasn't helped us, but the national tournament is the big deal for us. The fact we've been able to play as many games as we have in the spring is amazing. We've played some good minutes against some good teams, but we're not where we need to be so there will be a big emphasis on that."
- On Ole Miss: "Ole Miss is trying to get an at-large bid, so both teams are in two totally different places. Ole Miss wants to play and beat us for tournament aspirations, and we need to play good going into the national tournament. Both teams arguably need to win Saturday. We are good enough to get a result, but we have been good enough to get a result against the other SEC teams, it's a matter of getting the most out of the team."
- On the importance of a result or momentum: "I think we are getting to a point now to where we've had good, bad and incomplete performances, shown up for minutes, like against LSU, but generally at this point of the season it's about getting a result to me. It's the back end of a year-long season, and in the tournament it's down to survive and advance. The focus at this point is getting something from the game."
