DALLAS (SMU) - After a 5-0 victory over SFA in a preseason exhibition game, the SMU women's soccer team nears its season-opening weekend vs. LSU on Friday, Aug. 25 and vs. fourth-ranked North Carolina Sunday, Aug. 27. In order to give the new sod at Westcott Field a chance to grow, the Mustangs' first two home games will be played at other venues. On Aug. 25, SMU-LSU will play at UT-Dallas on the Stadium Field. Kick-off is slated for 7:00 p.m. On Aug. 27, SMU-North Carolina will play at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco. Kick-off is set for 1:00 p.m.
SMU will resume play at Westcott Field on Friday, Sept. 8 with a contest against UTSA at 2:00 p.m.
"LSU is due to be one of the fastest improving teams around," states SMU head coach John Cossaboon. "With a good group of freshmen, this is a team on the rise that is on the edge of becoming one of the elite teams in the nation."
"The opportunity to play North Carolina is second to none. It's a great way to start the year and truly benefits a growing team like SMU to be on the field with a team that has rewritten the history books in collegiate women's soccer."
