Over 4,000 attended the three days of soccer action as the SEC was back in town for the
Women’s Soccer Tournament. The University of Tennessee took home the title over Auburn with
a 1-0 victory with just minutes remaining in the game. Excellent weather during the week made
for good crowds and heated action.
According to Preston Pooser, Parks
and Rec Director, “this event has catapulted our City into
the running for many premiere collegiate events and tournaments. Getting
national exposure
and hearing the
positive feedback
from coaches, players and fans makes
the effort well
worthwhile. The
SEC has become a
good partner
and we see
many more opportunities with
the conference in
the future of
Orange Beach.”
