Every season, one of the most emotional games of the season comes on Senior Day.

This season, five players who have poured their heart and soul into the program are being honored following today’s Senior Day game against Prairie View A&M.

The group of Paige Baumgartner, Jessica Spitzer, Madison Murphy, Dawson Marrs and Annie Stook are being honored, as NSU faces off with Prairie View in the final non-conference match of the season. Kickoff is at 4 p.m. and fans can watch on ESPN+.

NSU (5-2-3) enters the match following a positive start to Southland Conference play, winning at UTRGV before tying rival Stephen F. Austin in Natchitoches.

Spitzer and Murphy, along with Riley Stern and Emily Mougia, are only holdovers from the Stu Gore era still left on the team, and Spitzer and Murphy were vital in aiding the coaching transition to the Ian Brophy era.

“With Murph, Jess, Riley and Mougia, I am really proud of the way they have bought into our system and culture and style of play,” Brophy said. “Madison is a captain and even though Jess isn’t a captain in title, she leads without the title. She is a great leader, and everyone looks up to her.

“The whole group is special and will be missed.”

In the past three seasons during the Brophy era, the team is 13-3-4 in front of the home crowd, and aim to notch one more non-conference regular season victory against Prairie View A&M (1-6-1).

Following the match, the Demons move back into SLC play for the remainder of the season, starting with a trip to Houston Christian on Sunday.
