MEMPHIS, Tenn.- The men's soccer team is continuing play in Oklahoma this week with an American Athletic Conference match up against Tulsa Friday night at 6 at Hurricane Stadium.
The Tigers are coming off a victory Wednesday night against Oral Roberts, when Hector Cantele scored a hat trick and propelled the blue and gray to a 3-0 win.

The Golden Hurricane is 6-5-1 overall, 2-2-0 in conference play this season. The TU roster features 11 returning letterwinners, eight of which were starters a year ago, two returning squad members and 15 newcomers.
