LSU coach Brian Lee knows LSU’s homefield advantage will show up on the scoreboard.”Our fans make a solid goal difference for us each time out,” Lee said. “Sometimes it’s two when it’s a big crowd.”The Tigers will have that “goal difference” for six of their seven remaining regular season games.LSU begins a four-game homestand this weekend against Auburn 7 p.m. on Friday at the LSU Soccer Complex.The Tigers then host Alabama on Sunday at 1 p.m.LSU’s remaining regular season road game is Oct. 23 against South Carolina.”We won’t sleep outside of our own beds for the duration,” Lee said.LSU has played all of its Southeastern Conference games on the road this season.”It’s tough to start the SEC out on the road because you really have to stay focused,” said senior defender Casey Crawford. “Once you get over and get through those hard, tough games, you can kind of — not take it easy — but be more confident at home.”The Tigers lost two conference games this season, equaling their 2007 total.”At this point in the season, at 2-2 in the SEC, every game is crucial,” Crawford said. “Starting with Friday night, we need to not just play but get results.”Junior forward Rachel Yepez said LSU has worked on keeping its composure in the box this week after scoring on only one of six shots on goal.”We’ve talked a lot about that this week, especially after the Tennessee game when we had a few chances and girls will pull up early or took shots when they could’ve taken a touch or two,” Yepez said. “We just have to stay composed and move the ball and look for open people.”LSU had trouble with Auburn in the past, holding a 4-10-1 all-time record against them.The team has never beaten Auburn in the regular season under Lee.”The times we have lost to them, we’ve played well,” said junior forward Rachel Yepez. “It’s one of those games where Auburn will have two chances, and they’ll finish those two chances. And we’ll have 12 and not be able to.”Statistically, Alabama is one of the better offensive teams in the conference, ranking fourth in shots on goal with a 7.75 per game average.But LSU has allowed a league-best four shots on goal per game.”We have an awesome back [line],” Crawford said. “I’m the holding defensive mid[fielder] right in front of them, so as long as I keep my position … we’re going to do fine.”—-Contact Robert Stewart at [email protected]
