Georgia soccer is scheduled to face No. 20 Ole Miss in its second Southeastern Conference game of the season in a mid-week match tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET in Oxford, Mississippi.

 
In Georgia’s SEC opener last week in Columbia, Missouri, the Bulldogs (4-4-1) fell to the Missouri Tigers, 3-1. Two goals in the last 10 minutes of the game made the difference once the Bulldogs equaled the score at one-all at the 64:04 mark.
 
 
Scouting the Rebels
 
Ole Miss completed its non-conference schedule with a 7-0-1 record, before falling, 1-0, to the seventh-ranked Florida Gators in the SEC opener.
 
 
The Rebels have only allowed two goals this season, which ranks first in the SEC and fourth in the NCAA.
 
 
The Ole Miss scoring offense ranks second in the NCAA with 38 goals scored through nine games.

Georgia ranks 1st in the NCAA and SEC in strength of schedule of future opponents. Those future opponents have compiled a 58-15-3 record with a .783 winning percentage.
