Tigers Journey to No. 5 Tulsa Friday Night

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tigers are set for their third game against a top-10 team in the last six outings Friday night, facing No. 5 Tulsa at 7 p.m. in Tulsa, Okla.

Friday's match will be broadcast on ESPN+, and live stats are also available.

Memphis (4-7-1, 3-3-0 American Athletic Conference) defeated No. 10 SMU two matches ago and dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker at home against eighth-ranked Tulsa on Sept. 24. The Tigers are tied for third in the AAC standings, two games behind first-place Tulsa and UCF.

"Up to this point, this will be our biggest game of the year," Memphis head coach Richard Mulrooney said. "After playing them just short of a month ago at home, we are very familiar with them as they are with us. With their ranking, they have been playing at a consistently high level all year. This will be a great challenge for us to go there and hopefully put in a complete performance Friday night and see where that takes us."

Memphis absorbed a 2-1 loss last Friday night at South Florida, with Maxi Galizzi scoring his team-high seventh goal of the season in the outing. He has found the back of the net four times in the last four games.

Tulsa (10-1-0, 5-1-0 AAC) is tied with UCF at the top of the conference, and the Hurricane's only loss of the year came on Oct. 10 at the Knights. When Memphis and Tulsa played earlier this season in Memphis, the Tigers hit the frame of the goal three times in the match and conceded the lone goal on a penalty kick.

After Friday, the Tigers return to Memphis for two games next week, hosting Temple Wednesday at 7 p.m. and South Florida next Sunday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m.
