Women's Soccer Travels To The Lone Star State For Pair Of Matches
8/30/2010 10:08:25 AM | Women's Soccer
Riverside—The UC Riverside Women's Soccer Team heads to the Lone Star State this weekend in search of its first wins of the 2010 season. The Texas State Bobcats (1-2-0) are up first on Friday, September 3 at 5 pm PT, followed by a 5 pm match on Sunday against the Texas Longhorns.
The Highlanders dropped consecutive 1-0 home decisions to open the season against UNLV (video highlights) and Seattle (video highlights). UCR was 0-2-0 in the early going a year ago before a 1-0 home win over the Bobcats gave the Highlanders their first win of the season.
Texas State lost a 2-0 decision at Texas Tech to begin the 2010 campaign before bouncing back with a 1-0 win over Utah Valley at the 13th Annual Miner's Classic in El Paso, Texas. In the final match of the tournament, they lost to Fresno State, 1-0, in double overtime.
This is the second meeting between the clubs.
