Five Things to Know About Memphis
- Thursday's game is the fifth of six consecutive matches away from home for the Tigers.
- Memphis is the winner of four straight contests, including a pair of shutouts against Rice and Louisiana last weekend at the Rice Tournament.
- Sophomore Clarissa Larisey was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week Monday. The Ottawa, Ontario native scored four goals in three matches. Senior defender Olivia Gauthier was also listed to the league's Honor Roll this week, anchoring a back line that tallied three shutouts.
- Larisey and sophomore Samantha Murphy have scored in each of the last three matches. Larisey has tallied seven goals this season, which leads the league, while Murphy has netted four goals.
- The Tigers won the only previous meeting against the Red Wolves, a 4-0 victory in 2012 in Memphis.
A Look at Arkansas State
Arkansas State enters the contest having won two of its previous three matches. After wins at Tulsa and Oral Roberts two weekends ago, the Red Wolves suffered their first setback of the season on Sunday, dropping a 2-1 decision at Central Arkansas.
Sophomores Maggie Ertl, Hailey Furio and Sarah Sodoma have each recorded two goals this season for the Red Wolves. Ertl and Furio have also combined for five assists and ranked second and third, respectively, in the Sun Belt Conference for points scored.
In the net, senior Kelsey Ponder and sophomore Megan McClure have split time at the goalkeeper position. Ponder has registered 30 saves to three goals allowed, while McClure has collected 12 stops against two goals. The keepers have given up just 0.83 goals per game, which tops the Sun Belt.
