PIRATE SOCCER AND LACROSSE INSTALL NEW SCOREBOARD

GEORGETOWN, Texas – Southwestern Men’s and Women’s Soccer and Men’s Lacrosse programs received a new scoreboard. The 24’ x 13’ scoreboard is proof of the Pirates ongoing efforts to improve the player and spectator experience at Southwestern.

The new state of the art LED scoreboard is keeping with the Green initiatives across the Southwestern University campus. The Baseball and Softball programs have also received new scoreboards over the past few years. All three of these new devices combined use less electricity than the former baseball scoreboard alone.

The previous scoreboard has been with Southwestern Soccer from its inception in 1993. It formerly stood on Moses Field before being relocated to the current Soccer/Lacrosse Field.  The lightbulbs have been saved from the old scoreboard and will be available for interested alumni in the Fall.

The Women’s Soccer team will kick off the new scoreboard on September 6th when they take on Texas Lutheran at 3:00pm.
