CUTHBERT, Ga. – Coming off a tough loss to Life University out of Marietta, the Lady Tigers will travel west to face Xavier University of Louisiana in a conference matchup on Thursday, Oct. 8.

Thursday's match will mark the first meeting between the two programs in program history.

Previously on the Pitch

Over the last week, the Fighting Tigers faced a tough stretch against Life University, the No. 3 team in the conference at 6-1-1, and Dalton State, the No. 6 team in the conference at 3-3-2.

Following their first tie of the season against Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, the Fighting Tigers looked to find the win column for the first time this season. Unfortunately, the Lady Tigers fell in both matches by double digits. They are now riding a two-game skid as they embark on one of the toughest portions of their 2026 schedule.

Their match against Xavier will be the first of four consecutive road matches against conference opponents, including Xavier, William Carey (SSAC No. 1, 8-0), the University of Mobile and Faulkner University.

The Opponent: The Gold Nuggets

Andrew will face a 7-2-2 Xavier squad that currently sits No. 4 in the Southern States Athletic Conference standings.

Over their last seven matches, the Gold Nuggets are 6-0-1 and have posted a +46 goal differential. More than half of those goals have come in their last two matches, with Xavier scoring 26 combined goals.

Xavier has reached double-digit goals three times this season, with two of those performances coming in the last week.

Thursday's match is set for 1 p.m. CDT at Lafreniere Park in Metairie, La.
