Shreveport - The Centenary women's soccer team will play its final regular-season home match on Friday night as the Ladies face the Southwestern University Pirates in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play set for 7:30 p.m. on Senior Night at Atkins Field.
The Ladies (3-9-2, 1-5-0 SCAC) were blanked in a pair of matches at home last weekend by Concordia University and McMurry University but are 3-4 at home this season with three shutouts. The Pirates (7-5-1, 5-1 SCAC) enter Friday's action on a two-game winning streak but are just 2-5-1 on the road this season.
Centenary will honor a pair of seniors - F Mary Large (Broussard, La.) and D/MF Kaitlyn Bordelon (Shreveport, La.) before the match. Senior MF/D Desiree Rodriguez (Forney, Texas) was recognized in a special pregame ceremony last Sunday to accommodate her family's travel schedule.

Junior D/MF Kylie Zeller (Denham Springs, La.) and freshman F Jenevieve Willis (Bossier City, La.) are tied for the team lead in goals scored with three each while five Ladies – Bordelon, senior MF Aubrey Burkhardt (Bossier City, La.), sophomore MF Shona Carlton (Ponchatoula, La.), sophomore MF Sarah Crenshaw (Alexandria, La.), and Rodriguez have each scored two.
Freshman MF Sydney Hamm (Sterlington, La.) has a team-high three assists and five Ladies have tallied two apiece. Burkhardt, Crenshaw, and Willis all have multiple goals and assists.
