SAN MARCOS, Texas – Only one match is on tap for the Texas State soccer team (6-5-2, 2-2-1 Sun Belt) this weekend when it hosts Louisiana (6-4-3, 2-1-2 Sun Belt) on Friday. The contest is scheduled to kickoff at 7 p.m. at the Bobcat Soccer Complex.
 
Live stats will be available for the match while no video stream will be provided.
 
Last Weekend: The Bobcats picked up their first two wins in Sun Belt Conference play with shutout victories over Appalachian State (2-0) and ULM (5-0). Kaylee Davis and Jordan Kondikoff netted two goals apiece and Madison Humphrey scored her first collegiate goal against the Warhawks. Also during the match in Monroe, Hannah Solano assisted on two of the tallies which tied for the third most in a match in program history.
 
Scoring against the Mountaineers came on an own goal and a second half tally from Renny Moore. Both Davis and Solano were credited with assists on the junior's goal.
 
Heather Martin made a combined six saves on the weekend and earned both shutouts. Her victory between the posts at ULM was the 30th overall in her career, just the second Bobcat ever to reach the mark.
 
#Goals2Cure: The 2019 season sees head coach Kat Conner and the Texas State soccer team raise money for the fight against ovarian cancer through the Goals2Cure initiative. Goals2Cure is a charitable initiative whose mission is to promote ovarian cancer awareness and to raise funds in support of women fighting ovarian cancer.
 
The Bobcats are collecting pledges for each goal they score this season with donations going directly to benefit the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. The link to donate is www.pledgeit.org/goals2cure2019.
 
Sun Belt Offensive POTW: Davis was selected as the Sun Belt's Offensive Player of the Week after her performance on the pitch against APP and ULM. Overall, she finished with two goal and one assists while taking 10 shots and placing six on goal. Her second goal against the Warhawks was the 30 of her career as she became the fourth TXST player to reach the mark and is currently tied for third in program history with Lynsey Curry. For Davis, it was her second weekly honor this season and the sixth in her Bobcat career.
 
Senior CLASS Award: The 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award was released on Monday with both Davis and Martin being on the list. They are the first players in program history to be named candidates for the award. The duo are part of four players from a Lone Star State program on the list.
