MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Ole Miss dropped its 2025 regular season opener at Memphis Sunday by a score of 3-2. Brooklyn Marn and Katie Ramsden would score for Ole Miss but the Rebels were unable to find the equalizer down the stretch.
In half number one it was Memphis who broke into the scoring column first, taking a 1-0 lead in the seventh minute.
Sidney O'Billovich made four saves in the first 45 minutes, keeping Ole Miss within striking distance. The Rebels had several opportunities inside the 18 but could knock crack open the scoring as Memphis held a 1-0 advantage at the half.
Just 42 seconds into the second half, Memphis would score again, stretching their lead to 2-0.
In the 53rd minute, freshman Brooklyn Marn tabbed the first goal of her collegiate career, going top shelf to cut the Memphis lead to 2-1. It marked the second straight regular season opener that a Rebel freshman scored in their debut.
Memphis would answer with their third goal in the 73rd minute to push the advantage back to two.
Ole Miss kept clawing and drew a penalty kick after a handball was called on Memphis inside the box. Katie Ramsden would take the try and connected on her first career penalty attempt to make it 3-2 Tigers with nine minutes to play.
The Rebels were unable to find the tying goal in the final minutes.
