Women's Soccer - SMU vs. Oklahoma
Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2011 9:28 amBig test for the Mustangs Sunday evening in Norman. Oklahoma is coming off a close 1-0 loss to Oklahoma State Friday night.
Other teams media seem to jump on the "nine starters returning" bit, which is kind of funny since it's really five starters returning and maybe one or two more depending on who Erwin decided to start up front in the games you are comparing.
