MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tigers venture on the road for two American Athletic Conference matches this week, playing at Temple at 6 p.m. CT Wednesday and at UCF at 5 p.m. CT Sunday.
Both matches will be broadcast on ESPN+, and live stats are also available.
The Tigers (1-6-1, 0-2-0 AAC) are coming off a hard-fought, 1-0 defeat to No. 8 Tulsa Friday night, where the Tigers saw three shots deflect off the post and the Golden Hurricane score their lone goal on a penalty kick.
"Looking back at the Tulsa game, we really executed our game plan well by limiting their opportunities and creating chances for ourselves," Memphis head coach Richard Mulrooney said. "To hold them to one goal not coming in the run of play showed our commitment to defending as a unit, and we need to continue that in moving forward.
"We now head to Temple, who finds themselves in the same situation we are in looking for their first conference win. Our games have always been true battles and ones that take every bit of the 90 minutes, and overtime in some cases. We need to make sure we match their tenacity while at the same time bringing quality and good decisions on the ball to help create opportunities. It will be our first away match in conference play, and I feel we are well prepared for what awaits us Wednesday night."
Temple (1-3-2, 0-2-0 AAC) started the season with back-to-back draws against No. 10 Seton Hall and Rutgers, and the Owls began conference play with 4-1 defeats to No. 18 SMU and UCF.
UCF (4-3-0, 2-0-0 AAC) knocked off the Tigers in Memphis on Sept. 18, 4-1, before picking up the 4-1 win against Temple Friday night.
After these two road outings, Memphis returns home to host SMU at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 9.
