CONWAY, Ark. – The Central Arkansas women's soccer team is on the road for the final game of the regular season, playing at Tarleton State Sunday at 1 p.m. with a chance to claim the UAC Red Division Title.
 
The Bears (7-6-5, 4-2-3 UAC) have just the one game left in the regular season, playing on the road before the start of the UAC Championships in early November. Central Arkansas earned a 1-1 draw on Thursday against Little Rock to punch its ticket to postseason, drawing against the Trojans and eliminating them with the result.
 
Central Arkansas has had a fearsome foursome on offense in Caroline Billings, Sakiko Manabe, Jama Akpanudo and Megan Moudy. The four are all north of 10 points this year, and all have been dangerous scoring goals and creating for each other. Billings leads the group with seven goals, with Manabe and Moudy with six each, and Akpanudo with four. Conversely, Akpanudo leads the team with seven assists, Manabe has five, Billings has three and Moudy adds two more.
 
The first meeting between these teams was in Conway, where the Texans grabbed a 2-1 win. Tied 1-1 at half, Tarleton snagged a goal in the second half that Central Arkansas was unable to answer.
 
The Texans (7-3-8, 5-1-3 UAC) have been dominant through conference play, outscoring opponents 21-9 through eight conference matchups. Last time out, it was a 1-1 draw at Abilene Christian, extending the team's streak to seven-consecutive games without a loss. The Texans logged the first goal of the day in the 57^th minute, but the Wildcats were able to answer 12 minutes later, and the score held at 1-1.
 
Tarleton State is still led offensively by Jessica Baires, who leads the team with ten goals and ten assists, totaling 30 points on the year. Zahra Friess is right behind her teammate in goals, scoring nine this season.
 
Kickoff at Tarleton State is set for 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The match will be streamed on ESPN+, with live stats available online.
