Enjoy a Pre-Game Tailgate Hosted by LG Electronics and Watch The Wildcats and The Lumberjacks Come Head-To-Head

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA, an official partner of the NCAA®, announced that its fourth episode of The Rivalries, a docu-series that highlights college sports' most intense rivalries, will feature Cal Poly Humboldt and Chico State.

Filming for its fourth episode will take place this Saturday, Sept. 17 at 4:30 PM and 7:00 PM at the men's and women's soccer games where fans can watch the teams tough it out on the field. Game attendees can also enjoy free food and refreshments at a pre-game tailgate hosted by LG outside of University Soccer Stadium. For those who like to win, LG will also have product giveaways during the tailgate, at half-time and at the end of the second game.

Separated by four hours of Northern California wilderness, Chico State's "big state school" reputation and Cal Poly Humboldt's underdog status have been at odds for as long as they can remember. The rivalry most recently took to the heat once Cal Poly Humboldt alum Kim Sutton, who was instrumental in building the first women's soccer team there, became the head coach of the women's soccer team at Chico State. This week fans and friends can take to the stadium to cheer on the Cal Poly Humboldt Lumberjacks and the Chico State Wildcats as they meet for this season's most intense games you don't want to miss.

The Rivalries series is available free and exclusively on the NCAA Championships Channel (Channel 100) via LG Channels on LG Smart TVs. Each episode highlights a different sports rivalry as told through interviews, historical moments, and the most recent game footage. Future episodes will be announced at a later date.

The exclusive content series is part of a three-year partnership with the NCAA, Turner Sports, and CBS Sports for category exclusive marketing and distribution rights to NCAA Championship competitions that will expand the reach of college sports to legions of current fans and generations of new ones. LG's support of the NCAA Championships will include multiple initiatives to inspire student-athletes including the recent launch of the NCAA Championships Channel, which will feature up to 50 NCAA Fall, Winter and Spring championships, both live and on-demand via LG's exclusive free streaming service, LG Channels.
