Rescheduled Showdown Set for Wednesday
The upcoming women's soccer encounter between the Emporia State Hornets and the Rockhurst Hawks has been moved from its original 4:00 p.m. slot to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 2. Forecasts calling for inclement weather prompted the adjustment, ensuring the safety of players and spectators alike.
The Hornets kicked off the 2026 campaign with a hard‑fought 3‑2 victory over Maryville on Saturday at the ESU Pitch. The win gave the team an early boost, improving their record to one win and one loss as they look to build momentum.
Wednesday's rescheduled fixture will be played on the same venue, the ESU Pitch, and marks the first meeting of the season between Emporia State and Rockhurst. Both coaches have indicated that the extra hour could provide a tactical edge, especially if the weather holds steady.
