Football, Soccer Saddle Up for Texas Two-Step Weekend

LAKE CHARLES – McNeese fans making their way to San Antonio this weekend will have the opportunity to catch two McNeese teams in action at the same venue as the Cowgirls play the soccer team on Friday evening followed by the Cowboys meeting up with the Cardinals on the gridiron Saturday night.
 
Both games will be featured at Gayle and Tom Benson Stadium. The facility was dedicated to the owner of the New Orleans Saints owner and his wife who contributed to have the stadium renovated to host both the football and soccer teams in 2008.
 
Before the No. 10 ranked Cowboys and Incarnate Word square off in an Southland Conference showdown on Saturday night, in Benson Stadium, the McNeese soccer team will look to score a crucial victory over UIW and secure a spot in the postseason tournament. The Cowgirls, who currently sit in fifth place in the league standings, take on the Lady Cardinals in a match slated to begin at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Tickets can be purchased at the gate for five dollars.
 
The Cowboy football team, who ranks 10th and 11th in the nation, will hope to take another step towards the top of the league standings on Saturday as it faces off against UIW.  With the game slated to kick off at 6 o'clock, the Cowboys are looking to score their first road victory of the season. Tickets for the game can be purchased at the McNeese ticket office for 20 dollars. A visiting team tailgate area will also be available for fans attending Saturday's.
