A Look at Memphis
The Tigers enter the week after defeating Belmont 3-0 on Saturday. Three different players scored in the match, including redshirt sophomore Chris Mikus, who scored the first goal in the third minute. Mikus is now tied for team-lead in goals this season with three.
Goalkeeper Tyler Hofmann played 80 minutes against Belmont, stopping all three shots on goal from the Bruins. As the second half dwindled, Parker Lackland came in to seal the deal, but did not have to stop any shots. Memphis has now held three opponents scoreless, including back-to-back games against Utah Valley and Belmont.
