Racers Back At Cutchin - Take On TTU and JSU This Weekend

The Murray State soccer team returns to Cutchin Field for the first time this month for Ohio Valley Conference games this weekend against Tennessee Tech Friday at 3 p.m. followed by a matchup with Jacksonville State Sunday at 1 p.m. in Murray, Kentucky.

The Racers look to return to form after suffering their first OVC regular-season loss since October of 2014 after falling 2-1 in overtime to SIUE last Sunday. Despite dropping one streak, the Racers are still undefeated at home on the year and hold a 15-0-0 OVC regular-season record at Cutchin Field since 2015.

Murray State heads into the weekend averaging a solid 18.6 shots per contest and is backed by a versatile offense that boasts nine different Racers with goals this season. MSU has also posted nine scores while holding opponents to three goals in their four home matches this season.
