Freshman
Kali Helms fared well in goal in her Lady Braves debut, stopping 11 of 12 shots aimed in her direction.
Jacksonville State dropped its exhibition match versus UAB 2-1 on August 16 and are picked to finish 11th in the Ohio Valley Conference after going 4-11-3 with a 2-7-1 conference record in 2018.
This will be first ever meeting between the schools in women's soccer.
Louisiana Tech will travel to Southeastern Louisiana on Friday night before making the trek to Lorman Sunday afternoon.

Alcorn and Louisiana Tech played last season for the first time but the game was cancelled due to lightning strikes in the area during the 41st minute.
