TAKING THE PITCH
The St. Mary's Rattlers are back to close the month of October in a conference game against Lubbock Christian. The Rattlers and Chaps are second and fourth in the conference respectively, and both are looking to secure a birth in the postseason tournament.
The Rattlers saw their seven-game winning streak come to an end against No. 7 Midwestern State. StMU dropped a 2-1 contest in which they played very well, but were unable to overcome an own goal. Still, the Rattlers remain determined to bounce back and continue their high level of play.
For the Chaps, they have won two in a row following a 1-0 win over Texas A&M International. The Chaparrals are over the .500 mark for the first time all season and hold the fourth and final slot in the LSC postseason tournament.
As a nod towards the Halloween weekend, there will be candy for all in attendance and a Raising Cane's gift card for the best dressed.
