The Southern University soccer team opens its home season at 7 p.m. today, facing the University of Louisiana at Monroe at A.W. Mumford Stadium.

It’s the season opener for ULM. Southern lost its opener at William Carey last week.

“The young ladies played real hard at William Carey,” coach John Knighten said. “They’ve been practicing hard and are really excited about playing at home.”

True freshman Divinity Bradley, in her first collegiate game, recorded 15 saves off of 33 attempts.

“Divinity played a great game considering it was her first time in goal on the college level,” Knighten said.

Britnee Matthews, Miriam Akinfosile, Renell Reid and Olyvhia Essien all the team’s four seniors who will be participating in their final home season opener.
