The Tigers and Mean Green have met just once in previous years Memphis would come away with a 1-0 win back in 2019 after a goal from Kimberley Smit in the 8'. North Texas (6-1) comes into Thursday's contest at the top of the West Division in the AAC after picking up a 4-0 decision against UTRGV where all four Mean Green goals came in the first half while UNT's defense held UTRGV to just one shot the entire match. But I believe our schedule up until this point has prepared us for conference play," said Monaghan.Ĭoming into Thursday's game, Memphis currently ranks at the top of the conference in goals-against average (0.667), save percentage (0.846) and scoring offense (3.17). "I think if you would've told me at the beginning of the season, we'd be going into conference play 5-1, I'd say, 'I'll take it.' I'm very happy with the team's non-conference play and progression and we haven't peaked by any means – we still have many areas to grow in. The Tigers, who came in at #13 in the TopDrawerSoccer Poll and #14 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll this week, come into a competitive AAC schedule after four wins against Power 5 schools over the past three weeks while currently sitting in second place in the West Division of the AAC. "I feel like we should've put the game away a lot earlier in the match but we lacked in finishing our chances – which is something we've spent time on this week and have made progress with."
"We did a lot of really good things and created a lot of great chances against Kansas State," said head women's soccer coach Brooks Monaghan. Memphis (5-1) is coming off a 1-0 win at Kansas State that saw Momo Nakao net the game-winning goal in the 65' of play. MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tiger women's soccer team has a big week ahead of them, opening American Athletic Conference play against North Texas on Thursday evening before taking on UT-Martin on Sunday night.
