The No. 8 Gamecocks defeated the No. 13 Razorbacks 1-0 at Stone Stadium in Columbia, S.C. Jylissa Harris scored the game’s only goal, a header in front of the net following a South Carolina free kick in the 78th minute.
A yellow card on Arkansas’ Tori Cannata set up the scoring chance. Riley Tanner took the free kick from outside the box and Grace Fisk redirected the pass with a header from the far post. That caught Arkansas goalkeeper Katie Lund out of position for Harris’ finish from just in front of the goal.
The goal was the first allowed by Arkansas since Aug. 29 when the Razorbacks tied Minnesota 1-1. It was the second goal allowed by Arkansas in 990 minutes of regulation this season.
The Razorbacks had not allowed a goal in 764 minutes prior to Harris’ score with 12:45 remaining in the second half. Lund had saves on 34 consecutive shots on goal, including nine Sunday.
South Carolina (9-1-0, 3-0-0 SEC) out-shot Arkansas 14-8, including 10-2 on goal. The Gamecocks were especially aggressive after halftime, recording five of their shots on goal between the 48th and 62nd minutes.
The Razorbacks (8-2-1, 2-1-0) have been outshot in all three of their conference games.
Arkansas had two scoring opportunities early Sunday, but South Carolina goalkeeper Mikayla Krzeczowski saved shots by Taylor Malham in the 13th minute and by Cannata in the 22nd minute.
