MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis men's soccer team looks to rebound off of its loss to SMU this past weekend with a non-conference match against Central Arkansas Tuesday evening. Kick-off against the Bears is at 7 p.m. in Conway, Ark.

The Tigers are 10-1 all-time against the Central Arkansas, with the last victory coming last year at home by a score of 3-1. Memphis is now 7-5-1 this season.

"We have to gain some confidence," said head coach Richard Mulrooney. "UCA is a tough place to play. I've been there a couple of times and it's tough to get a result there. I want to see who is ready to come back out and start playing the way we can play."
