SMU closes out the regular season this week with matches at home against Tulsa Wednesday afternoon and at East Carolina Friday afternoon.

Yeah, it's an unfortunate week to have the Wednesday conference match with basketball and Thanksgiving.

I just looked at the conference schedule - everybody is playing Wednesday/Friday this week and the extra game is Saturday.
Originally, our match was the only one scheduled in the afternoon, but Houston at UConn was moved up because of weather.
