BEAUMONT, Texas - With their last game against Texas Southern canceled due to bad weather, Lamar turns their attention to their next opponent in Tarleton State for another home contest. That game will kickoff this Sunday at 1:00 PM.
 

Three Cheers For Nathan Kogut
The Cardinals blanked UH by the score of 3-0 earning Nathan Kogut's his first win as head coach of LU. Christine Kitaru scored two goals while Caries Ellis added the third. Nicole Panis recorded nine saves in goal on 12 shots.

Three Queens Of The Week
The Southland Conference recognized Kitaru (Offensive), Panis (Goalkeeper), and Miranda Urbizu (Defensive) with player of the week honors. These are the second career weekly honors and first from the SLC for Kitaru and Panis and as they both won weekly awards last season as members of the Western Athletic Conference. It also is the first career weekly honor from the SLC for Urbizu.

Opening Day Wins Are Nice
Aside from the 3-0 win against Houston being head coach Nathan Kogut's first win as LU's head coach, this was also the third straight season in which the Cardinals won their first game of the year. Last season, LU defeated Grambling State 3-1. Two years ago, Big Red captured a 1-0 victory against Texas State.
