Tigers and Hurricane play to double overtime scoreless draw
Memphis went on the road for the opening game of American Athletic Conference play and came away with a hard-fought draw in double overtime with Tulsa. The Tigers will return to Mike Rose Soccer Complex for the team's final nonconference game against Gonzaga, Saturday at 5:00 p.m.
"I thought we started a little slow, it was really a game of two halves," Memphis head coach Brooks Monaghan said. "In the second half we lifted the standard for ourselves, we changed systems and I thought the kids adapted. We weren't quite as dangerous in the final third as we'd like to be."
The Tigers held a 14-12 lead in shots, including a 4-3 advantage in shots on goal, while TU had an 8-4 lead in corner kicks.
Maryse Bard-Martel made some key saves in the match to keep Tulsa off the board.
"I think we're happy to get a point. I'm not disappointed but I'm not ecstatic. Tulsa is a good team that has a veteran squad so I think it's a decent result to start conference play. Every game is going to be tough," said Monaghan.
The Tigers will return home Saturday for an "Alumni Weekend" doubleheader with the men's team hosting UCF after the women's game.
