The Alabama State University soccer team will look to rebound against non-divisional foe Southern University on Sunday, October 21 at 2 p.m.
“We just have to regroup and rebound from yesterday's loss to Jackson State,” head coach
Jodie Smith said. “We have to get better on the defensive end and be able to clear the ball out when its lingering in the box. This has got to be a team effort. Southern is a good team, but haven't been playing well this season, so hopefully we can capture a win and go back home and prepare for our final two games of the season.”
