JACKSONVILLE - The Jacksonville State soccer team returns to the pitch in a pivotal Conference USA match against UTEP on Saturday night at the Jax State Soccer Complex.
Kick off is set for 7 p.m. Admission to all home matches is free. The match has been designated as 'Fill the Hill' in an attempt to break the attendance record at Jax State Soccer Complex. The Gamecocks (6-7-1, 1-3-1 CUSA) enter the match on the edge of earning a spot in the CUSA postseason tournament with four points secured. The Miners bring a 3-6-3 overall mark and a 0-3-1 record in CUSA action.
LAST TIME OUT
Jacksonville State wrapped up its first weekend on the road in Conference USA play by gaining a point after a scoreless draw with Western Kentucky last Sunday at the WKU Soccer Complex. Jax State controlled the pace and had scoring chances, including a penalty kick opportunity in the second half, but WKU's goalkeeper Maddie Davis staved off the kick. WKU posted a 10-8 shot advantage in the match and had four corner kick chances. Junior Naroa Domenech turned in three shots in the draw, while five other Gamecocks had a shot attempt recorded. Junior Poppy Bastock collected four saves en route to her fourth shutout of the season.
GREEN OUT
Launched during the 2019–2020 academic year, the "Green Out" initiative is a collaboration between Conference USA and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) at each member institution. Together they created "Green Out" games in support of mental health awareness. CUSA encourages all to stand up to the stigma and continue the conversation. To highlight Mental Health Awareness "Green Out" month, we will be holding a Mental Health Awareness Presentation. The event will be held October 23, 12:00-1:00PM, Houston Cole Library, Room 1103-C
