The ACU Wildcat volleyball team defeated Eastern New Mexico in three sets Thursday night and will need a solid performance to knock off the West Texas A&M Lady Buffs Saturday afternoon at Moody Coliseum. WTAMU has lost just eight Lone Star Conference matches in history and is 14-2 on the year with a No. 3 national ranking. ACU handed the Lady Buffs four of their eight conference losses over a four-match win streak in 2004 and 2005.
The ACU soccer team fell in its LSC opener Friday afternoon to Angelo State with the Rambelles scoring their only goal three minutes into the second half. The Wildcats will try and rebound in their final non-conference match of the season Thursday in Dallas when they face Dallas Baptist.
The football team will see a new "air raid" attack from Eastern New Mexico Saturday. After years under head coach Bud Elliott running the wishbone, Mark Ribuado (head coach at ENMU since 2005) has made the transition to the spread offense in an effort to keep up with the high-powered offenses in the LSC, like ACU, West Texas A&M, Tarleton and Midwestern State.
The Greyhounds have struggled so far in their new system averaging just under 270 yards of offense per contest and carry a 1-3 record into the game. The game will be the LSC South Division opener for both teams in Portales, N.M.
If you are a Wildcat Insider, you can go to enmusports.com to see the live audio and video feed for the game. However, the audio will be the ENMU broadcasters. If you want to listen locally to the game in Abilene, turn to KYYW at 5:40 p.m. for the pre-game show.
