TAKING THE PITCH
The St. Mary's Rattlers will be hosting Texas A&M International today at 4:30 p.m after thunderstorms forced the game to be moved up. These two squads are no stranger to one another as they have battled it out every year since 2002.
The Dustdevils of A&M International are traveling to San Antonio after a tie against Midwestern State last weekend. Goalkeeper Fabiana Solano played an extraordinary game on Saturday, saving 16 shots on goal and will surely be ready for the Rattler's attacks.
The Rattlers are also coming in after their first tie of the season last Saturday against ENMU. Though they were able to have possession of the ball for most of the game, the Rattlers were not able to secure the win. St. Mary's will look to finish their chances more effectively against the Dustdevils.
Tonight will also serve as a chance to honor the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's efforts in fighting childhood cancer. Their initative, Vs. Cancer, raises money to help find a cure to this deadly disease. The Rattlers have been raising money for the past month and a half, and will continue to collect donations at the gate.
