Baton Rouge, LA - The Southern University Lady Jaguars soccer team are looking forward to the opening of the 2008 season. The year begins on Saturday, August 16th with an exhibition contest versus William Carey College at A. W. Mumford stadium.

The Lady Jags have already completed three straight days of conditioning with Sunday off. They will return to training on Monday morning at 6:30 am with a 4 on 4 drill.
