Jul 28, 2023

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Seventh-ranked Alabama soccer (3-0) defeated Lipscomb (0-3) in a 3-1 victory on Thursday thanks to a brace from Isabel Smith and a second half goal from Gianna Paul.

Smith recorded her first collegiate goal on her way to a brace, scoring in both the 30th and 51st minute of the game. Paul notched her second goal this season in the 60th minute. With the victory, the Crimson Tide moved to its best start since the 2016 season.

"Obviously pleased with the result. Wins are important, especially on the road. Despite their slow start, I believe Lipscomb will win a lot of games. It's a good team. Glad our offense came alive tonight. We were able to score three (goals) and had a few more good chances that we missed. Happy for Izzy (Smith). She's been playing well and glad to see her get her first goals for Alabama."
