Southern Miss head soccer coach Mohammed El-Zare on what it will take for the Golden Eagles to have success against a tough Stephen F. Austin team
"We wanted to challenge our team by playing as many games on the road as we possibly could. Stephen F.

In order for us to have success against them, we have to focus on the way that we play and execute the things that we work on every day in practice. We have to have consistent play from our offense and defense and we will need contribution from certain players."
