Memphis men’s soccer continues homestand Saturday vs. Temple

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis men's soccer continues its homestand vs. Temple on Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Park Avenue Campus.

The Tigers won at Temple 2-1 in double overtime on Feb. 23 as Pennsylvania native Luke Kelly scored in the 109^th minute with a 12-yard contested strike just inside the left post to give the Tigers the dramatic victory.

Goalkeeper Parker Lackland, who was selected to the AAC Men's Soccer Honor Roll this week for the second time this season, made an incredible one-on-one stop from a shot inside the box with 10 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime.

Temple (2-4-1) concludes a three-game road trip against Memphis after a scoreless tie at Tulsa on March 13 and a 4-0 loss at UCF last Saturday. The Owls recorded their highest ranked win in program history in a 2-0 defeat of No. 2 SMU on March 6.
