The Tigers improved to 3-1 this spring in Shreveport.
The OBU Men's Soccer team traveled to Shreveport today for a
round-robin event against Northwestern State University of Louisiana
(club) and Centenary College (NCAA D-1). They made it three in a row
against club competition with a 6-0 victory over the Northwestern club.
A short time later they faced a fresh Centenary team, giving up two goals
in the first few minutes of the game. After that slow start the
players settled down, closing the gap to 1-2 midway through the half while
playing some excellent soccer. However, the team lost focus and
allowed two more goals in the final minutes of the half. The Gents
put the game away with two more goals midway through the second half and
cleaned up with 3 more in the final minutes. The Tigers will return
to action on April 6 at the University of Memphis 7v7 Tournament.

The Women's Soccer Team enjoyed another day of success at
the Northwestern State Tournament in Natchitoches this weekend.
The Tigers advanced to the semi-finals again on Saturday with three
consecutive victories over Louisiana College (6-0); The University of
Central Arkansas (2-0) and Northwestern State of Louisiana (3-1).
The competition was tough as the team faced GSC rival UCA in a physical
game and then upset D1 opponent Northwestern with three unanswered goals
to overcome a 0-1 halftime deficit. It was cool throughout the
morning as the clouds threatened rain, but then the sky began to clear and
the humidity and warmer temperatures became a factor as the Tigers would
have to face three more tough D1 opponents without a rest if they wanted
to earn the championship. They dropped their first game 0-3 to
Centenary and then lost the semi-final game to McNeese State 1-4.
McNeese then went on to win the tournament over Centenary after several
overtimes and a shootout. The women will have a couple of weekends
off for Spring Break and then return to action on April 6 in the Christian
Brothers Tournament.
