The 11th-seeded LSU Soccer squad just kicked off their 2026 SEC Tournament with a massive 1-0 upset victory against sixth-seeded, No. 23 nationally ranked Auburn. That win went down Sunday afternoon at the Ashton Brosnaham Soccer Complex in Pensacola, Florida, and it wasn’t just any win.
Third Time’s the Charm, Or Is It the Streak?
This 1-0 win wasn’t a fluke, it’s a full-blown pattern. LSU secured their third consecutive SEC Tournament opening-round victory over Auburn! This streak has been going strong since the 2024 tournament, proving that when these two meet in the postseason, LSU shows up. Auburn came into this one with a stronger 8-3-7 record, compared to LSU’s 5-9-5, making the upset even sweeter. But hey, rankings mean nothing when you’ve got history on your side.
