SMU finally gets to start the home schedule this weekend at the Doubletree Classic. SMU is sitting at 2-4 with six matches on the road so far. Hopefully, some of the home atmosphere will translate into some more wins!

SMU, featuring reigning C-USA offensive player of the week Caroline Young, is at Moody Thursday night against Wichita State at 7pm. Friday night SMU takes on Texas State. Then, on Saturday, SMU will be at Moody with a nice appetizer for the football game with a match against Auburn at 2:30!

Here is the SMU preview for the weekend:
