Women's Soccer - SMU vs. Memphis

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

2-0 SMU HT!

Obviously there are still 45 minutes left and Memphis might have been caught off guard - but nobody can deny the Mustangs just played a FANTASTIC half of soccer.

There are certainly faults in this SMU team - but nobody can question the absolutely stifling defense we can play when we are clicking.

Hopefully we can keep up the pressure for the rest of the game even with a bit of a thin bench.

Second half underway...

Whoa. Memphis with a header just over the crossbar...

2-0 SMU at 51:05.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Memphis is certainly more adventurous offensively so far in the second half. The SMU defense needs to hold firm!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Eidson, Cox, and Webb all absolutely solid at the back.

SMU needs to stop just sitting back and taking it though.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Play stopped for an injury to Olivia Elliott - didn't look too bad...

58:30 into the game.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Under 30 minutes left. Still 2-0 SMU.

Mustangs survive back-to-back-to-back Memphis corners.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

SMU mounting ZERO offense in the second half - obviously by design...

Memphis makes it 2-1.

So mad right now I don't know what to say.
