DALLAS (SMU) --- The SMU Men's Soccer team topped Tulsa 1-0 to open American Athletic Conference play with a win for the first time since 2015.
 
Freshman Lane Warrington netted the contest's lone goal, a strike from just outside the left corner of the goal box that went just past the keeper's gloves, at the 3-minue mark of the opening half on a pass from Nicky Hernandez. Warrington, a native of Lawton, Oklahoma, is the second Mustang to notch the first goal of his collegiate career this season and it was Hernandez' third helper of the year.


 
Tulsa's offense pressured SMU's defense for the rest of the game, but the Mustangs' defense stood strong, only allowing five total shots for the rest of the game, helping keeper Grant Makela complete his fourth shutout of the 2018-2019 campaign.
 
The match, originally scheduled for 7 p.m. yesterday, was rescheduled for today at 10 a.m. after lighting ruled the first go a no contest. The match was also played at the Crum Lacrosse and Sports Field, an unusual venue for the Mustangs.
 
SMU goes on the road to Florida for its next pair of games. The Mustangs will play at UCF Sept. 28 at 6 p.m. CT and at Steton Oct. 1 at 6 p.m. The conference contest between the Mustangs and Knights will be stream on UCF Knights TV and second game of the road trip can be viewed at gohatters.com.
