SMU heads out on its last road trip of the season, starting Thursday, Oct. 24 as they take on Tulsa at 7 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 six assists this season put her at .406 per game for her career and a sixth place spot on the all-time list.
DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE
The Mustangs have only allowed three first-half goals all season. Throughout 15 games, SMU's backline has only allowed 62 shots on goal, 50 of which have been saved. Seven opponents have been shutout in SMU's 2019 campaign.
SERIES HISTORY
This will be the 35th matchup between the Mustangs and the Golden Hurricane, having met every regular season but one since 1987. The last matchup between the two ended with Tulsa winning 3-2 when the Golden Hurricane came to Dallas. SMU is 9-5 when facing the Golden Hurricane in Tulsa.
SCOUTING TULSA
Tulsa is currently even on the season with an 8-8 record. They have gone 2-4 in conference play. The Golden Hurricane added eight freshmen to their roster, including Kayla Fernandez, who leads the team in game-winning goals. Six seniors lead Tulsa both on offense with Valiree Morris and Reagan Whitlow and in goal with Mica Mackay.
RETURNING MUSTANGS
Twenty Mustangs are returning to the pitch for the 2019 season, for a total of eight seniors, five juniors and seven sophomores. In 2018, the Mustangs finished with a 10-6-2 overall record and 5-4 in conference, to give them a fifth place AAC finish. The 2019 Mustang offense has been led by returners Allie Thornton, Hannah Allred and Celiana Torres. Thornton leads the team in goals and shares the shot lead with Torres, who leads in assists with seven 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 six shutouts.
NEW MUSTANG TALENT
SMU added one transfer and five freshmen to its roster. Junior Jewel Boland, a transfer from Highline College, has been a big part of SMU's offense, playing in all 15 matches and tallying four goals, 33 shots, 10 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 15 matches and earned seven clean sheets with 46 saves. Wayny Balata, a midfielder from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, has made an appearance in 14 matches with 14 shots, three on goal and an assist. Serena Eboh, a Southlake, Texas native, has helped the Mustangs' backline in 13 matches with one start and has had five shots of her own. Sadie Wintergalen joins SMU as a forward from Phoenix, Ariz. and has seen playing time in four matches this season. Maddie Hansen, a forward from Allen, Texas, has not seen any playing time this season due to an injury. She spent most of her club soccer time with Sting, where she was captain and often led the team in goals. She also earned a US Soccer Training invite from 2012-15.
