LORMAN, Miss. – The Alcorn State University women's soccer program plays its home opener tomorrow as the team hosts Mississippi University for Women in a 1 p.m. match at Jack Spinks-Marino Casem Stadium.
Â
Sunday's game marks the first meeting between the two programs.
Â
The Lady Braves (0-1) are coming off an 8-0 season-opening loss at Southeastern Louisiana on Aug. 20. Junior Giselle Rojas and sophomore Kameran Proby made three saves apiece as they each played a half. Junior Anjelica Dugan had one shot on goal.
Â
"We should be more organized both offensively and defensively. We are still not yet up to full strength, but we're getting there," said head coach Junior Noel.
Â
MUW has not played a contest yet in what is the inaugural season for the Owls. Headed by veteran junior college coach Gray Massey, the team is mostly comprised of Mississippi natives with a few student-athletes from Louisiana and Oklahoma. MUW's makeup includes one keeper, 10 midfielders, five forwards, and seven defenders.
Â
The Owls are a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association.
