After a loss to Baylor last week, the women’s soccer team is ready to put a win on the scoreboard Friday as it faces Louisiana Tech at the Bobcat Soccer Complex.

The contest is the first of six games in a row that will be played at Texas State. The Bobcats lost 2-1 to Louisiana Tech last year. This year should prove challenging, with the Bulldogs holding a 5-1-3 record this season.

“Our players are definitely coming out ready to avenge last year’s loss,” said Coach Kat Conner. “I think we are going to show them we can compete at that level.”
