M-Soccer: SMU at Portland

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

SMU is at Portland Sunday at 12:30pm CT. Crazy starting a game at 10:30am local time but Portland's preview says "Sunday's kickoff with the Mustangs was moved up to 10:30 a.m. to accommodate SMU's travel itinerary". It's also a shame both of the SMU soccer games are at the same time on Sunday but whatever.

The Pilots are 4-3-0 after dropping a home decision to Denver 1-0 Friday.

The Mustangs need to start finishing off some of these close games with wins. Hopefully it starts Sunday.

Go Ponies!

SMU plays a great first half but is unfortunately the victim of the early own goal.

The Mustangs with the advantage in shots (9-3), shots on goal (4-3), and corners (4-3).
