MEMPHIS, Tenn.- The Memphis women's soccer team will play Western Kentucky in their first preseason home match tomorrow, Saturday, Aug. 31, at 6 p.m. , at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex.

The Lady Tigers opened up their preseason last weekend with a match against the University of Auburn. Memphis lost in the last minutes with a final score of 2-1. The Lady Tigers were lead by freshman Ashley Berra, who was the only Memphis player to score a goal. Freshman goalkeeper Elise Kuhar-Pitters opened up in goal and had an impressive game with eight saves, despite the two scored goals.
