After a week off, the Charleston Southern women's soccer Lady Bucs will return to action Wednesday when they travel across town to play The Citadel at 4 P.M. at the Military College's Washington Light Infantry Field.

CSU enters the game at 4-4 on the season, having dropped their last match last Wednesday, 2-0, at conference foe Winthrop. The Lady Bucs will look to rebound from that loss and to improve their record to 3-1 in matches played in Charleston, with the only loss coming to fellow Lowcountry foe College of Charleston one month ago.

The Lady Bulldogs of The Citadel enter the game at 3-9 on the season. Citadel and CSU have played two common opponents so far this season: USC-Upstate, whom The Citadel beat 3-2 (CSU defeated the Spartans 3-1), and Wofford, whom The Citadel lost to 3-0 (CSU defeated the Terriers 1-0). Leading the Bulldogs offensively this season are freshman Jessa Scott and junior Emily Haller, who have combined to score six of The Citadel's seven goals on the season (Scott has four goals, Haller two). In goal, senior Britini Bunnell has lead the way, appearing in all 12 games for the school near the Ashley, starting 10.

The Bucs and Bulldogs drew 1-1 in their 2006 encounter at Buccaneer Field, with Lindsey Trexler (Asheville, N.C.) scoring the day's lone CSU goal off an assist from Sarah Catenacci (Mt. Pleasant, S.C.). However, the Bucs had considerably more success in their last trip to WLI Field, winning 5-1 in 2005, with current Buccaneers Trexler, Briana Murphy (Boone, N.C.) and Emma Mattsson (Helsingborg, Sweden) all scoring on that afternoon.

The Bucs will rely on these seasoned vets as well as new faces to the rivalry to achieve a similar success on Wednesday.
