LAKE CHARLES, La. - The HCU women's soccer team enters the final stretch of the 2022 regular season with the team's final two road games of the season this weekend, traveling to Louisiana to face McNeese and Southeastern. Houston Christian University (HCU), formerly Houston Baptist University (HBU), underwent a name change in September 2022.
 
HCU (3-7-3, 3-3-1 SLC) saw a four-match unbeaten streak come to an end last weekend with a 1-0 loss at UIW but prior to that loss, the Huskies had picked up 10 points in the conference standings. The Huskies are currently tied for fifth in the league standings with McNeese (4-5-4, 2-2-4 SLC) while Southeastern (4-4-3, 2-2-3 SLC) sits just one point back.
 
Friday's match will be the first of the season between the Huskies and Cowgirls while Sunday is a rematch with the Lady Lions. HCU defeated Southeastern 4-1 at Sorrels Field on Sep. 23. Emily Jaimes scored twice for the Huskies in the win with Mia Salas and Xya Balderas also adding goals.
 
The Cowgirls have played to three consecutive 1-1 draws, most recently in Beaumont against league-leading Lamar. McNeese has a 1-0-4 record over its last five games. Junior Magalie Depot leads McNeese in goals and assists with four apiece while freshman Salma Elhaimer has scored three times. In goal, Jackie Kelly and Briana O'Dell have split the majority of the minutes in goal and combined to allow 1.25 goals per game with an .811 save percentage in SLC play.
 
The Lady Lions played a pair in Texas last weekend, finishing with a pair of ties. First they tied UIW, 2-2, before a scoreless draw at Texas A&M-Commerce. Senior midfielder Mya Guillory leads the team with six points thanks to a pair of goals and a pair of assists with defender Emma Jones the only other player on the roster with multiple goals, netting two. Goalkeeper Olivia Griffin owns a 0.52 goals against average against conference opponents and has a save percentage of .833.
 
The Huskies return home to Sorrels Field for their final three regular season games beginning on Friday, Oct. 21, with a matchup against Lamar.
