Five Things To Know About Memphis
- Memphis is making its eighth appearance in the NCAA Tournament after earning its second at-large berth. The Tigers' postseason appearance marks the third time in the last four years Memphis has made the NCAA Tournament (2016, 2018, 2019).
- Last week, six Tigers were selected to All-Conference teams, while three student-athletes earned AAC Player of the Year accolades. Clarissa Larisey was voted the league's co-Offensive Player of the Year, Elizabeth Moberg was named the Goalkeeper of the Year and Mya Jones was selected as the Rookie of the Year. Joining the three, Stasia Mallin garnered First Team All-Conference honors. Serena Dolan and Tanya Boychuk were named to the AAC Second Team, while Jones was a unanimous choice for the All-Rookie team.
- Checking in at No. 14 in this week's United Soccer Coaches poll and No. 12 in the TopDrawerSoccer poll, Memphis has now been ranked for 16 consecutive weeks. Overall, the Tigers are 44-9-2 all-time as a ranked team.
- Memphis ranks among the national leaders in several statistical categories. Offensively, Memphis is seventh in scoring offense (2.70 goals per game), seventh in total goals (54) and ninth in shots on goals per game (8.80). Defensively, the Tigers are 16th in goals-against average (0.544) and 17th in shutout percentage (0.600).
