CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - After closing out a dramatic overtime victory against Sam Houston State on Friday evening, the Islanders' soccer program (4-2-1, 1-0 Southland) aims to extend its program-record five-game unbeaten streak against visiting Stephen F. Austin (3-4-0, 1-1 Southland), matching wits with the Ladyjacks Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. While a victory over Stephen F. Austin would serve as yet-another program first (0-5-0 all-time vs. the Ladyjacks), a win Sunday afternoon would also propel the Islanders to their first-ever 2-0 start in Southland Conference competition.
Date: Sunday, Sept. 23
