The Tigers will try to improve their 3-2-1 record against the Sooners in their final non-conference match before play Mississippi State on Friday.
The last time the two teams met was in 2009 when the Tigers were able to put up four goals in a shutout against OU. LSU has never lost to OU in four matches, winning three and drawing once.

Tonight’s game will also be dedicated to breast cancer awareness with a pink theme.
