Women’s Soccer Set to Host UM Tournament of Friends

MOBILE, Ala. – The University of Mobile women’s soccer team will host the UM Tournament of Friends beginning on Friday Oct. 17 and continuing play through Saturday Oct. 18. 

The tournament will feature the University of Mobile, Spring Hill College, the University of North Alabama and North Georgia University.  Mobile will play the University of North Alabama in the first game of the tournament set for Friday Oct. 17 at 5 p.m.  The other game that night will feature Spring Hill College vs. North Georgia University at 7 p.m. 

On Saturday, Spring Hill College will play against the University of North Alabama at 4 p.m. followed by UM vs. North Georgia University at 6:30 p.m. 

UM is currently at 3-8 on the season and in the midst of a six-game losing streak.  UM is currently tied for sixth in the region with North Georgia who they will face on Saturday night.  Since the regional tournament accepts only the top six teams, the winner of this match will have an inside track to the Regional XIII Tournament set to begin on Nov. 13.   

Last time out, the Rams dropped a 4-2 decision at the hands of Saint Francis of Indiana.  After this tournament, the Rams will face Belhaven College and Covenant College at home before finishing the regular season at Loyola University.
