M-Soccer: SMU at Tulsa

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

SMU starts conference play Saturday night at Tulsa! The match starts at 7pm.

The Mustangs (4-2-2) have played a challenging non-conference schedule so far, including a nice win over UC-Irvine, a sweet 16 team last season, 2-0 Sunday night.

Tulsa (4-3-1) has also played a great non-conference schedule, including Virginia, North Carolina, St. Louis, and Creighton.

The Golden Hurricane are the team The American has picked for SMU to meet twice in conference play, so Tulsa will also play SMU at Westcott October 21.

It's a shame this game is at the same time as homecoming football, because SMU/Tulsa is always an event in men's soccer.

GO MUSTANGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
