Women's Soccer remains on the road for matches

TAHLEQUAH – Following two wins in their opening week, Northeastern State women's soccer heads to Oklahoma Baptist for the first time in over a decade this Wednesday, and then travels south of the Red River to play UT Tyler on Saturday.

The RiverHawks have not played in Texas since 2013 and are looking for their second consecutive season with at least a 3-0 start.

Sydney Taylor notched a goal in both of NSU's matches to move her career total to 19.  Head Coach Chase Wooten will enter the week with 200 career wins between his 15 years at Northeastern State and six at Centenary.
