September 20, 2005 Nationally-Ranked Cougar (Men's and Women's) Soccer To Go on Extended Road Trip SIUE TO PLAY AT OERTER FIELD IN COLUMBIA ON FRIDAY AND WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY ON SUNDAY EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. - The Southern Illinois University men’s and women’s soccer teams will enjoy an extended road trip with its home games this week to be played off-campus. Moving the games will enable Bob Guelker Field, the home of the Cougars to make at least a partial recovery from poor playing conditions. The field was unable to hold up to this summer’s heat and lack of rain. SIUE men’s coach Ed Huneke and women’s coach Lynda Bowers jointly announced that the Great Lakes Valley Conference games on Friday, Sept. 23, and Sun., Sept. 25 will be moved but played at the regularly-scheduled times. Friday's game against Kentucky Wesleyan College will be moved to Oerter Park in Columbia, which is located at the intersections of Illinois Route 3 and Gall Road. The women’s game begins at 5 p.m. and the men’s game follows at 7:30 p.m. Sunday's game against the University of Southern Indiana will be played at Francis Field on the campus of Washington (Mo.) University. The SIUE men are ranked No. 2 in the nation with a 5-1 record. The SIUE women are ranked No. 17 in the nation and hold a 5-2 record. 2005 NCAA Division II Men - National September 20, 2005 Rank School W-L-T Prev. 1 Lynn University (Fla.) 5-0-0 4 2 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville 6-1-1 1 3 Dowling College (N.Y.) 4-0-2 3 4 Cal State Dominguez Hills 5-1-0 6 5 Fort Lewis College (Colo.) 5-0-0 7 6 Clayton State (Ga.) 5-1-2 9 7 Seattle Pacific University 6-1-2 10 8 Lincoln Memorial University (Tenn.) 8-0-0 19 9 Tusculum College (Tenn.) 5-1-0 2 10 University of Central Arkansas 6-1-0 19 11 West Texas A&M University 5-0-0 21 12 C.W.
