🔼 Bear In Mind. Auburn is making its first road trip of the season, visiting California tomorrow night for a 9:30 p.m. CT kickoff—tied for the latest kickoff time in Auburn history with the Tigers’ 1976 contest at Arizona also scheduled for a 9:30 p.m. CT kickoff. History is on the Tigers’ side with Auburn compiling an 82-42-6 all-time record in road openers.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch, listen to, and experience the game!

🔼 Come Away With Something. And that’s a draw, folks. Auburn soccer rallied from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against West Virginia last night—thanks to a 66th minute goal from junior Carly Thatcher, her first of the season!

🔼 Bounce Back. Sometimes it just isn’t your night. Bel Zimmerman had a season-high 11 kills while Sarah Morton, Fallan Lanham, and Jackie Barrett all had 10 digs—but it wasn't enough as Middle Tennessee came away with the 3-1 victory last night (22-25, 25-15, 25-23, 25-22).

It's a quick turnaround for the Tigers as they'll match up against Charleston Southern on Friday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. CT. Doors open one hour before the first serve and admission is free.

🏆 VICTORY FORMATION

On To Victory is the Official NIL Collective of the Auburn Tigers. On To Victory’s sole purpose is to provide expanded name, image and likeness opportunities for the hard-working players we so proudly cheer on the field.

As of today, we have 1,250 monthly members who help provide this crucial support—and we hope more of the Auburn Family will choose to support our student-athletes this year.

🤔 TIGER TRIVIA

Staying golden. The Tigers may not have ever played California, but they played a team from California last season in the Week 2 slot—and beat them in a back-and-forth slugfest at Jordan-Hare.

Do you remember who that team was?

Answer: San Jose State

Thanks to a trio of rushing touchdowns from Tank Bigsby, Jarquez Hunter, and TJ Finley—Auburn won 24-16 against a visiting San Jose State team in Week 2 of last season.

🐅 Have a good Friday and a great weekend, y’all.
