Mother Nature and The Rice University Owls both got the better of the Lamar Lady Cardinals on Friday evening.Rice scored a pair of late goals to claim a 2-0 win over Lamar in a rain-soaked non-conference women’s soccer game at the Lamar Soccer Complex. Lamar coach Orlando Cervantes wasn’t making any excuses, however.

 

The Lady Cardinals return to action at 1 p.m. Sunday when they host North Texas in a non-conference game. The Mean Green (2-0) were scheduled to play at Houston on Friday, but that game was canceled due to lightning.

“We’re playing a tough non-conference schedule,” Cervantes said. “IT’s meant to get us ready for our Southland games. We have to be able to step up and meet these challenges.”

 

Tickets for Sunday’s game are available online at www.LamarCardinals.com. Tickets will be available at the Lamar Soccer Complex box office starting at noon Sunday. Sunday is Youth Soccer Day, with all youth soccer players receiving free admission when they wear their team uniform.

So far, the Lady Cardinals are 1-2 on the season. The Lady Cardinals split their California road trip winning against San Jose State (1-0) and losing against Cal Poly (1-2) after holding the lead for most of the match. It looks like last night's attendance of 267 was respectable especially considering the rainy conditions. (Stadium capacity is 500.)
