SMU is in Philadelphia Saturday for a match against Temple (noon Central time).

The first-place Mustangs (6-3-1, 2-0-1) are currently on a five-game unbeaten streak after a 2-0 win over Memphis Wednesday night.

The Owls (2-7-2, 1-1-1) have been struggling, but are undefeated at home in American play so far this season.

It looks like it will be in the mid-50s and overcast for the game today - but there is no rain in the forecast at least.

SMU with back-to-back-to-back corners but can't punch one in.

It's always funny when the road announcers read tidbits from the SMU press releases verbatim.

Nice goal. Good to get one before the half the way we have dominated the first half.
