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 golden goal at Oklahoma was her fourth game-winning goal for the season and 11th total in her career. She is now tied for fourth 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 11 games, SMU's backline has only allowed 48 shots on goal, 38 of which have been saved. Five opponents have been shutout in SMU's 2019 campaign.
SERIES HISTORY
This will be the eighth matchup between the Mustangs and the Owls, having met every regular season since 2013. The last matchup ended with a 2-0 SMU win in Dallas. The Mustangs have won two of the three in Philadelphia, with both wins being shutouts.
SCOUTING TEMPLE
Temple has started 3-7-2 on the season, with one win and three losses in conference play. The Owls added 7 freshmen to their roster for 2019 and returned 22, including Gabriela Johnson, a sophomore leading Temple's offense, and Morgan Basileo, the senior goalkeeper for the Owls.
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 and Allred lead 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 11 matches and tallying three goals, 22 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 11 matches and earned five clean sheets with 34 saves. Wayny Balata, a midfielder from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, has made an appearance in 10 matches with seven shots, one on goal and an assist. Serena Eboh, a Southlake, Texas native, has helped the Mustangs' backline in nine 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.
