Auburn goalkeeper Sarah Le Beau broke the SEC consecutive start record, but the Tigers couldn't break the Razorbacks in a 3-1 loss against Arkansas Sunday afternoon in Fayetteville.
This game went down as the 84th straight start for Le Beau, a redshirt senior — a conference record for goalkeepers.
Down two scores after the half, the Tigers looked to chip their way into the Razorback lead. In the 61st minute, Angeline Daly was able to get her team on the board. However, the joy was short lived, as Arkansas came back down two minutes later and scored the final goal of the game.
“We just started out slow,” head coach Karen Hoppa said. “We need to be better at the beginning of the game. We need to be ready to go. We had a much better effort in the second half, but it was too little, too late.”
Auburn’s final game of the regular season is the Iron Bowl against Alabama this Thursday at home.
