The 6:00 p.m. match will be the fourth international friendly the Owls have played, but the first one versus a full national team. The Owls have twice played the Mexico U-20 National Team over the past 18 months.
“We are very excited to host this match against the Mexico National Team,” said King. “The relationship between Kennesaw State and Mexico’s women’s soccer organization is increasingly growing and we are proud to be part of this match and it’s budding tradition.”
The game will be an exhibition match that will come after the Owls open up the regular season at the University of Georgia and in preparation of matches against Francis Marion, Minnesota and Auburn.
“After the match at Georgia this event will allow us to not only play a high-level international match, but it will also allow us to identify and make adjustments to our squad as we head into the season,” added King on his team’s first-ever exhibition match played during the regular season.
The series began with the Get Global Challenge played at the KSU Soccer Complex in the spring of 2008 with the Owls losing a rain-shortened match. Last August, the teams played a friendly match in Nashville with the Mexican squad shutting out the Owls.
The Black and Gold also played the Welsh National team in the spring of 2005 in Rhyl, Wales with the Owls dropping a 1-0 decision.
The Mexican squad will play Kennesaw State on Sunday after playing the University of South Carolina in Columbia, S.C. on Aug. 21 as part of the team’s tour throughout the United States.
All tickets for the match are general admission tickets and can be purchased for $14 on the KSU Owls website at http://ksuowls.ticketsxchange.com. Parking in the East Deck will be $5. Even KSU students, faculty and staff will have to purchase tickets. For continued information please visit the women’s soccer schedule site at www.ksuowls.com.
