RUSTON – The Louisiana Tech Soccer team returns to the pitch for the second time this fall, playing at Abilene Christian on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Elmer Gray Stadium.
 
LA Tech (0-1) aims to get into the win column after suffering a 2-0 loss in its opening match at UL-Lafayette a week ago. 
 
The Lady Techsters ended up taking twice as many shots as the Ragin' Cajuns.  They totaled 10 shots, but only the last two in the final minutes came on goal. 
 
Nineteen different players saw action in the season opener with Josie Studer, Elizabeth Doll, Alma Cedefors and Tomoyo Kuroyanagi going the distance. 
 
Afrah Khan and Sophie Fijneman led the way with two shots apiece.  In net, Tuva Sallvin and Christina Hjelvik split time with each playing one period. 
 
Meanwhile, Abilene Christian (2-1-1) will be playing in its fifth match this season.  The Wildcats are coming off its first shutout of the season after a 1-0 win over Angelo State two weeks ago. 
 
ACU opened the year with a loss at ULL.  They have also tied Stephen F. Austin and defeated Texas State, 3-2, in overtime. 
 
LA Tech and Abilene Christian will meet for the very first time on the soccer field.  The Southland Conference, just like Conference USA, moved its conference regular season to the spring.
