SMU and UConn are still 0-0 30 minutes in.

UConn has had a couple of really nice chances - one saved by Ibarra and one saved off the line by Speed.

SMU has had a ton of pressure so far. Corners are already 6-1 to SMU.

Go Mustangs!

UConn takes the lead 1-0 in the 42nd minute as a ball ends up trickling over the line after a bunch of chaos in the box.

Ibarra picks up a yellow after vehemently complaining of interference.

SMU down 1-0 at the half.

The first half was very even. Shots are 7-5 to UConn. Shots on goal are 5-5. SMU has a big edge 7-1 in corners.

Fouls are 7-6 SMU and each team has one yellow.

Bummer. Not surprised though. At least we have a basketball game on Monday.
