Good Morning, Auburn Family. Soccer is back on The Plains as the Auburn Tigers open the 2024 season at home, hosting No. 5 Clemson tonight at 6:30 p.m. CT. The season marks the 26^th under the leadership of head coach Karen Hoppa.

Last year, the Tigers posted an 8-7-5 head-to-head record highlighted by an appearance in the SEC Tournament Quarterfinals. Auburn’s defense issued seven shutouts, including four in conference play, while the offense netted 26 goals.

The competition should be fierce, as Clemson went 18-4-4 in a 2023 season that ended with an appearance in the NCAA Final Four. They ultimately fell 2-0 to eventual national champion Florida State in the semifinal match.

🔼 On Your Radar. Auburn soccer’s Anna Haddock and Maddie Prohaska have been named to the 2024 Southeastern Conference Preseason Watch List.

It is the fourth consecutive season that both Haddock and Prohaska were named to the list.

The reigning SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Haddock enters her final season on The Plains as one of the best midfielders to ever don the Orange & Blue.

Another five-year starter, Prohaska is set to lead Auburn’s defense between the sticks once more this season. She returns to the pitch as one of two SEC goalkeepers with at least 25 career shutouts to their credit.

🔼 Put Us In, Coach. Auburn women’s basketball associate head coach Damitria Buchanan and men’s basketball assistant Ira Bowman recently participated in the SEC Coaches Opportunity Forum, a two-day event held in Atlanta.

The SEC launched the program this year, which was focused on professional development, mentorship, and networking opportunities for selected assistant coaches.

Buchanan, entering her fourth season on the Plains, was promoted to associate head coach prior to the 2022-23 season. Bowman is entering his seventh season on the Auburn men’s basketball staff. He was named one of the top five high major assistant coaches in the country by MCA.com and has helped put together some of the top recruiting classes in Auburn history.
