EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. - The Southern Illinois University men's and women's soccer teams will enjoy an extended road trip with its home games next week to be played off-campus.
Moving the games will enable Bob Guelker Field, the home of the Cougars to make at least a partial recovery from poor playing conditions. The field was unable to hold up to this summer's heat and lack of rain.
SIUE men's coach Ed Huneke and women's coach Lynda Bowers jointly announced that the Great Lakes Valley Conference games on Friday, Sept. 23, and Sun., Sept. 25 will be moved but played at the regularly-scheduled times.
The Sept. 23 game, against Kentucky Wesleyan College, will be moved to Oerter Park in Columbia, which is located at the intersections of Illinois Route 3 and Gall Road. The women's game begins at 5 p.m. and the men's game follows at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 for general admission and $3 for SIUE faculty and staff. SIUE students are free with a valid ID.
The site of the Sept. 25 game will be finalized and announced next week.
The SIUE men are ranked No. 1 in the nation with a 5-1 record. The SIUE women are ranked fifth in the Great Lakes Region and hold a 5-2 record.
