M-Soccer: SMU at UCF

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

The No. 17 SMU Mustangs are back on the road for a big C-USA game at Central Florida (4-4-3, 1-1-0) Sunday night at 6pm.

SMU (8-2-2, 4-0-0) is currently in first place in the conference after defeating Kentucky last Saturday.

The key to this one will be how SMU deals with UCF forward McKauly Tulloch who was dominant with 2G/1A and seven shots in the UCF 4-2 win at Westcott last season.

Go Ponies!

0-0 HT.

UCF is up in shots 3-2. Shots on goal are even 1-1 and corners are even 2-2.

Ugh. UCF up 1-0 with 21 minutes left. A loose ball in the box finds a UCF player unmarked.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

SMU with some great offensive chances late but unfortunately none of them find the back of the net tonight.

FInal UCF 1, SMU 0.

UCF with an advantage in shots 11-7 and shots on goal 6-2. A late corner helps SMU even corners at 3-3 for the game.

The Mustangs head to Miami to face FIU Wednesday night.

Still in first place. Hard to complain about that.

Let's get a win over FIU and right the ship.
