Kentucky men’s soccer heads to Harrisonburg on Sunday to face Sun Belt leader James Madison, looking to end a four-match losing streak and earn its second conference win. The Wildcats beat the Dukes 2-0 last season, but JMU enters with the stronger record and defense.

By the Numbers
  • Kentucky: 1-9-3 overall, 1-4-1 in Sun Belt play.
  • James Madison: 7-5-2 overall, 4-1-1 in Sun Belt play.
  • Kentucky goalkeeper Benjamin Rasmussen has 45 saves, averaging 4.09 per match.
  • JMU has allowed 11 goals; its leading scorers have 4 goals apiece.
Yes, But

JMU leads the conference standings despite losing 1-0 to Marshall earlier in the week. Kentucky has struggled lately, but last season’s win over the Dukes offers a reminder that the matchup is not a foregone conclusion.

Kentucky faces a difficult road test against a conference-leading JMU team, but a win would halt the Wildcats’ skid and give their season a much-needed boost.
