The day was hot and so were the Bobcats. The first game of the season against McNeese State, and the Bobcats were ready to send those Cowboys back to the south.

Temperatures close to 100 degrees didn't stop our Bobcats OR their dedicated fans.

The Bobcats took the win with ease, staying one step ahead of the McNeese Cowboys from the start. The team looked fresh and ready, and the end score proved they were ready to come out on top of the season opener.
