[RV] SMU will take on the UConn Huskies to close out its first conference road trip of the 2019 season on Sunday, Oct. 13 at 12 p.m. CT.
RECORD BOOK PERFORMANCES
Two Mustangs are looking to land at the top of individual career records lists at the end of the season. Senior Allie Thornton's penalty kick at Temple was her fifth game-winning goal for the season and 12th total in her career. She is now third on the all-time game-winning goals list. Sophomore Celiana Torres is working her way up the individual career record list for assists per game. Her five assists this season put her at .429 per game for her career and a sixth place spot on the all-time list.
DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE
The Mustangs have only allowed two first-half goals all season. Throughout 12 games, SMU's backline has only allowed 50 shots on goal, 40 of which have been saved. Six opponents have been shutout in SMU's 2019 campaign.
SERIES HISTORY
This will be the ninth matchup between the Mustangs and the Huskies, having met every regular season since 2013 and once in 1996. The last matchup ended with a 4-1 SMU win in Dallas. The Mustangs are winless over four meetings in Hartford.
SCOUTING UCONN
UConn has started 5-7-1 on the season, with one win and four losses in conference play. The win came Thursday over Houston. The Huskies added 8 freshmen to their roster for 2019 and returned 22, including Kess Elmore, who leads UConn's offense, and Randi Palacios, the Huskies' goalkeeper.
RETURNING MUSTANGS
Twenty Mustangs are returning to the pitch for the 2019 season, for a total of eight seniors, five juniors and seven sophomores. As a team in 2018, the Mustangs finished with a 10-6-2 overall record and a 5-4 conference record, to give them a fifth place conference finish. The 2019 Mustang offense has been led by returners Allie Thornton, Hannah Allred and Celiana Torres. Thornton leads the team in four categories including goals and both shot columns. Torres leads in assists with six on the season. Courtney Sebazco, Katia Novi and Hailey Bishop have also had strong showings for SMU's offense. The Mustangs' backline is anchored by returners Katharine Herron, Brooke Golik and Mary Meehan, who have been crucial in SMU's five shutouts.
NEW MUSTANG TALENT
SMU added one transfer and five freshmen to its roster for the 2019 season. Junior Jewel Boland, a transfer from Highline College, has been a big part of SMU's offense, playing in all 12 matches and tallying three goals, 24 shots, eight on goal and two assists. Tatum Sutherland hails from Cleburne, Texas and has been SMU's starter in goal this season. She has appeared in all 12 matches and earned six clean sheets with 36 saves. Wayny Balata, a midfielder from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, has made an appearance in 11 matches with seven shots, one on goal and an assist. Serena Eboh, a Southlake, Texas native, has helped the Mustangs' backline in 10 matches and has had three shots of her own. Sadie Wintergalen joins SMU as a forward from Phoenix, Ariz. and has seen playing time in three matches this season. Maddie Hansen, a forward from Allen, Texas, has not seen any playing time this season due to an injury.
