MOBILE, Ala. — South Alabama has opened multi-year football season ticket renewals, offering holders on its three-year plan the chance to lock in 2009 prices for the 2010 season, the USA Ticket Office announced, as the unbeaten Jaguars prepare to host Georgia Military College on Saturday.

Soccer Falls to Western Kentucky
South Alabama lost its first home Sun Belt soccer match of the season 2-0 to Western Kentucky on Friday at The Cage. The Jaguars fell to 2-8-1 overall and 0-2-1 in the conference. Western Kentucky improved to 7-3-1 and 2-1-0.
Jaguars coach Varga said illness limited the team during the week.
“We had eight players at practice this week, because of the flu and sickness,” he said. “I told the team I didn’t want that to be an excuse or used as a crutch. We just didn’t do the little things we needed to do to be successful today.”
South Alabama hosts Middle Tennessee at 1 p.m. Sunday, then travels next weekend to play North Texas at 7 p.m. Friday and Denver at noon Sunday.

The volleyball team lost three matches during the week. Troy won Monday’s match in straight sets, 25-18, 25-23, 25-20. Arkansas State swept the Jaguars 25-19, 25-14, 25-10 on Friday in Jonesboro, and Arkansas-Little Rock won 3-1 on Saturday, 25-16, 25-17, 16-25, 25-16.
