The LSU soccer team hits the road tonight for the third straight match as the Tigers travel to undefeated North Carolina State at Dail Soccer Field in Raleigh, N.C. in search of a key non-conference victory.
“We really like the non-conference slate in terms of having a line of games that are highly competitive,” said coach Brian Lee. “If you win a game like this one, it’s a good RPI and NCAA tournament-selection type of win. The [Atlantic Coast Conference] is the strongest soccer conference in the now.”
The match marks the third of five straight road games for the Tigers to open the 2011 campaign due to ongoing renovations on the LSU Soccer Stadium. The five road matches to start the season are the most since LSU began Lee’s first season at LSU in 2005 with four games away from home.
