M-Soccer: SMU at Memphis

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

The Mustangs have a massive American match Wednesday night at Memphis. Every point in conference is crucial as teams fight to finish in the top four and host a quarterfinal match.

SMU (3-8-2, 2-1-2) is on a pretty good roll lately in American play. The Tigers (8-5-1, 2-4-0) have been struggling a bit in the American, but have played three straight conference matches on the road.

These are two programs extremely familiar with each other so this one should be good.

Huge upset in the American tonight, as Cincinnati gets their first conference win against first place Louisville 2-0.

Alfred Koroma makes it 2-2 on a penalty kick. The Memphis keeper got a hand to it but the kick had too much power.

Nembhard drew the penalty on a nice deep run.
