For those who have watched SMU soccer for a while, Yale has a starter with heavy SMU connections — TJ Presthus is the son of former SMU goalkeeper Tom Presthus and Melissa (Kittner) Presthus. Yale coach said one or both parents might be at the game tonight.
DALLAS, Texas – The Yale men's soccer team fell to No. 22 Southern Methodist University (SMU) 1-0 in a non-conference away game on Monday evening in Dallas, Texas. Fredrik Skilberg netted the game-winner in the 86th minute for the Mustangs in an evenly matched contest.
With the victory, SMU improves to 5-1-0, while the Bulldogs fall to 1-3 so far this season.
