Arkansas Reaches No.1 for First Time in Program History
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — While fans are down that Arkansas football is 3-2 with a matchup looming against No. 4 Tennessee, Arkansas soccer continues to win in dominating fashion and took over the top spot of the United Soccer Coaches poll for the first time in school history.
The Razorbacks’ remain undefeated at 9-0-1, with the only blemish being a 2-2 draw against former No. 1 Michigan State. Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest and the Spartans rounding out the top 5.
With Michigan State being held to back-to-back draws against Ohio State and Rutgers this past week, Arkansas jumped the Spartans with all eight first place votes. There are only three other teams ranked in the top 25, No. 7 Mississippi State, No.16 Auburn and No.24 South Carolina.
The Razorbacks are at the top of most statistical categories. The lead the country in both goals per game (4.80) and goal differential (+41). They also generate the second most corner kicks (9.40).
Opponents have not scored against the Razorbacks for nearly 200 minutes of game time. The Hogs are coming off back-to-back 2-0 shutouts of Vanderbilt and South Carolina. The Hogs are the last team to remain perfect in SEC play with a 4-0-0 record.

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.

We are proud to partner with the Corning Police Department in addressing these violations. We seized a substantial quantity of illegal products, including flower, vapes, edibles, and other items, during the operation. We appreciate the cooperation of local law enforcement and information received from the community that led to yesterday’s operation and stopped this blatant disregard of the law.”
