KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Three Tennessee players were featured on the Top Drawer Soccer Midseason Top 100 lists released this week.

Huff has been on the field for 960 minutes this season and ties for first on the team in assists (6) and second in goals (4) and total points (14). The 2021 SEC Freshman of the Year has logged two game-winners this season, netting the go-ahead goal against Bowling Green and Missouri.

Thomas currently leads the SEC and ranks sixth nationally with 12 goals on the season, moving her career total to 37 to pull within seven goals of becoming UT’s all-time leading goal scorer. She has netted three game-winners, including logging the only goal of the match in Tennessee’s 1-0 victory over then-No. 13 in Oxford.
Simmonds has amassed three goals in her rookie campaign, appearing in all 11 contests in which she’s been active. She missed three games while reporting for her first call-up with the Jamaican Senior Women’s National Team. She has taken 15 shots on the year, 10 of which were on goal, to log the third-best shot on goal percentage on the team at .667.
The Lady Vols will face Auburn on the road on Thursday before returning to Knoxville for a two-game homestand, hosting No. 21 South Carolina in a 1 p.m. ET matinee on Sunday (SECN+) and Vanderbilt in the regular-season finale at 6:30 p.m. ET on Thursday (SEC Network).
