The LSU soccer team continues its month-long homestand by hosting in-state rival McNeese State tonight at 7 p.m. in the renovated LSU Soccer Stadium.
The Tigers (3-3-1) are currently riding on a three-game unbeaten streak after going 2-0-1 last week and allowing just two goals in that stretch. LSU played undefeated No. 18 Pepperdine to a 1-1 draw on Sunday and handed Oregon its first loss of the season, 1-0, in thrilling fashion Friday.
McNeese has won three of its last four matches, including a 2-0 victory at Louisiana-Lafayette on Sunday, and has posted shutouts in each of the victories.
LSU coach Brian Lee said the Cowgirls have looked like the best mid-major squad in the state during their 4-4 start to the season.
“They’ve had some tough losses to Rice and Texas A&M, really challenged themselves with some good programs,” Lee said. “But they’ve turned around and beaten [Louisiana] Lafayette and Louisiana Tech, who are some of the better teams in the us.”
