Murray State Travels to Louisiana Tech to Begin 2022 Campaign

Murray State soccer travels to Ruston, Louisiana to take on Louisiana Tech for a 7 p.m. matchup on August 18. The Racers took the matchup with the Bulldogs last season 3-2 in Murray, Kentucky.

The Racers return their top goal scorer and playmaker from a season ago in preseason All Missouri Valley Conference members Chloe Barnthouse and Hailey Cole. Barnthouse has scored 12 career goals for the Racers in her first two seasons while Cole has dished out eight assists in her two seasons at MSU.

MSU brings in several new faces with eight freshmen joining the roster this season along with four transfers. The Racers will still have plenty of experience on the pitch with eight seniors and 11 juniors on the roster in 2022.

MSU was picked to finish third in the preseason MVC coaches poll.
