Lamar women's soccer program in the offing

In an attempt to improve the gender equity in its athletic department, Lamar University's executive leadership is in the final stages of approving the addition of women's soccer for intercollegiate competition.
University president Jimmy Simmons said the school's ultimate endorsement could be made in the next two weeks after the athletic department's final presentation.
When asked about soccer, Simmons said, "It's almost a done deal." But soccer's inclusion into the athletic department also depends upon final approval from the Texas State System board of regents.
