    As the race for the Southland Conference championship heats up, so has Northwestern State, as it rolled to its fourth straight victory, a 3-0 triumph over in-state rival McNeese on Thursday evening at the Demon Soccer Complex.

    NSU (10-3-3, 5-1-1) scored multiple goals for the fourth consecutive game, as the offense tallied goals from Marissa Henderson, Hosane Soukou and Paige Baumgartner to climb one step closer to a regular season conference championship.

    The Demons have a four-point edge on second-place Stephen F. Austin, five-point lead on Southeastern Louisiana and six-point lead on both East Texas A&M and McNeese.
