TAKING THE PITCH
With only a few games left of the Lone Star Conference, the Rattlers will be playing West Texas A&M this Saturday. The Halloween Bash kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.
In a tough battle last Wednesday, the Rattlers defeated Texas A&M Commerce with a golden goal in double overtime. St. Mary's trailed by two goals for the majority of the match, but showed mental and physical toughness in their comeback. After tying the match up and forcing overtime, Megan Copeland played the hero with her walkoff score.
The Lady Buffs are also coming off an impressive shutout from Wednesday where they defeated Eastern New Mexico. The team maintained momentum leading the game in shots with 18 of them fired on goal securing their victory.
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.
