The No. 17 SMU Mustangs are back on the road for a big C-USA game at Central Florida (4-4-3, 1-1-0) Sunday night at 6pm.

SMU (8-2-2, 4-0-0) is currently in first place in the conference after defeating Kentucky last Saturday.

The key to this one will be how SMU deals with UCF forward McKauly Tulloch who was dominant with 2G/1A and seven shots in the UCF 4-2 win at Westcott last season.

Go Ponies!

Ugh. UCF up 1-0 with 21 minutes left. A loose ball in the box finds a UCF player unmarked.

SMU with some great offensive chances late but unfortunately none of them find the back of the net tonight.

FInal UCF 1, SMU 0.

UCF with an advantage in shots 11-7 and shots on goal 6-2. A late corner helps SMU even corners at 3-3 for the game.
