Come out to Hinds Community College, Tom Shepherd Field, and catch the best JUCO soccer action in Mississippi.
Hinds is the host site for the 2015 state tournament where the top eight Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) soccer teams in the state are converging today and tomorrow. Semi-final games begin today (Oct 30). Play starts at 11 a.m. with the Hinds CC Lady Eagles, number one in the north division, taking on the Jones County Junior College Lady Bobcats (number two in the south). It should be a great match-up.
