QUICK KICKS
• Ole Miss closed out the regular season with a 4-1 loss to LSU on Thursday. It was just the second time all season that the Rebels had given up more than two goals in a match. It was also just the second time that they trailed at the halftime break.

• Despite the loss, Ole Miss still clinched a spot in the SEC Tournament thanks to other results from around the league. The Rebels came into the week as the ninth seed but fell to No. 10 when Texas A&M defeated Florida 4-1. Losses by Missouri and Auburn allowed the Rebels to clinch the final spot in Pensacola.

• This will be Ole Miss’ eighth-consecutive appearance at “The Beach”, having last missed the tournament in 2014.
