The Lady Lions (4-5) are coming off a 2-0 home loss to conference foe Atlantic Conference Tulsa University. UAPB is led by freshman Natalie Freeman, who was named Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks, and leads the conference in four categories, goals (7), shots (26), shots on goal (16), points (16).

The Cougars are coming into tonight's matchup 8-1-1 and coming off a 2-0 win over Sam Houston. Nadia Kamassah leads the Cougars with five goals for the season.

The matchup with the Cougars will be the last non-conference matchup for the Lady Lions before they open conference play at home against Southern Friday, October 5.

"This is a competitive game that will help prepare us for conference play that begins next week. This opportunity to play a team that's in the American Athletic Conference will be great to gain experience and our plan is to play a competitive 90 minutes," said head coach Erik Solberg.
