news@dailyhelmsman.com The father of the 20-year-old Memphian who allegedly participated in an alcohol enema at a University of Tennessee fraternity house this weekend said the incident never occurred and the Knoxville Police Department pressured Pi Kappa Alpha members into admitting it had. Despite countless articles citing reports that Alexander Broughton — known by family and friends as Xander — participated in an alcohol enema resulting in a blood alcohol level of .40 percent, police did not question him until Wednesday afternoon, father Mark Broughton said. The Tennessean reported a UT Police Department report said Xander’s cousin, JP Carney, told KPD his cousin’s condition when he arrived at the hospital Saturday night was caused by an “alcohol enema” that took place at the Pike house. Broughton said he has an official statement contradicting that

Runners around Memphis are getting a break from the usual straightpath 5K race with this weekend’s LuvMud and LuvGlo 5K at Shelby Farms Park. The events are not only a 5K race and obstacle course, but a two-day festival and camp-out benefiting Habitat for Hope, a nonprofit group founded in Memphis to support families of children who must travel to the Mid-South in order to receive medical care. “We wanted to do a 5K as a fundraiser for Habitat for Hope, but a regular 5K seemed boring,” Mark Horrocks, Luv Mud race director, said. The LuvMud race begins Saturday at noon. Runners are put into “waves” of 100 people to race alongside each other. Groups are released every 30 minutes. The waves prevent mishaps on the obstacle course and ensure runner safety, Horrocks said. The runners will face challenges on the course such as hopping through tires, sliding down a 100-foot slide and hurdling through a giant spider web called the “web of doom.” The course culminates in runners

Murder trial to end today Carpenter robbers arrested By Lisa Babb
news@dailyhelmsman.com The trial for three men charged with killing a former University of Memphis student in 2009 continued Thursday with much of the day focused on a cell phone. Thursday was the third day of trial and the final day of testimony for the state’s case against Charles McClain, Lavino Horne and Leterpa Mosley for the murder of Tederrial “TK” Hancock on Nov. 11, 2009. The three men are charged with firstdegree murder and aggravated robbery. The state’s witness, former U of M student Justin Freeman, told the jury that he was with Hancock visiting Hancock’s mother in the hospital the day of the murder. Freeman was in need of a cell phone, so Hancock agreed to sell him an extra that he had lent to the mother of his child, Kandace Turley, who was also at the hospital. When Hancock couldn’t find the phone, he began texting it. He received a response from
someone claiming to be a woman named Diamond. Freeman’s account was consistent with Turley’s testimony on Wednesday. According to her testimony, the person in possession of the phone pretending to be Diamond was her ex-boyfriend, Charles McClain. Quantel Stubbs, 19, also charged with firstdegree murder and aggravated robbery against Hancock, testified Wednesday that McClain planned the robbery and provided the .38 caliber gun that Stubbs said Horne used to kill Hancock. Thursday’s testimony focused on putting the cell phone in question, which made contact with Hancock’s cell phone multiple times the day of his murder both before and after his death, in the hands of McClain. The defense attorneys did not cross-examine Freeman. Defense Attorney Claiborne Ferguson said Wednesday that Stubbs “testi-lied” when he told the jury McClain was the brain

Burns
Glover
Two men have been arrested for the robbery that took place in Carpenter Complex last week that left the University of Memphis community on alert. Deundre Glover, 24, and Brian Burns, 20, were arrested Wednesday on charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping
and aggravated robbery. According to a police affidavit, a student walked out of her bedroom to find a man standing in her living room. She was forced back into her bedroom at gunpoint by another man, later identified to be Glover, and told to lay under the bed. Police released descriptions of the two suspects last week as they solicited help from the campus community. “They never took her anywhere,” said Director of Public Safety Bruce Harber. “But they were restricting her activities.” That restriction qualified the decision to charge the men with kidnapping. The student told police she was told to lay face down on the floor until the men left. “The victim heard the men enter two other rooms in the apartment before it went silent,” the police report said. There were signs of forced entry to two of the bedrooms but not the apartment.

Earth, fire, wind, water, heart — with these powers combined, University of Memphis students and administrators are trying to be their own planet heroes by encouraging eco-friendly choices. Tuesday is the annual Tiger Blue Goes Green Day, an eco-friendly event at the U of M that encourages the campus community to make “greener” choices. The event is free and open to the public. John Hochstein, director of the Center for Biofuel Energy and Sustainable Technologies, or BEST, and member of the planning committee for Tiger Blue Goes Green Day said the event is about raising awareness of green and sustainability issues. “Sustainability has become a popular word, but it covers many aspects,”
he said. “It goes into lifestyle. It really affects choices we make every day and we need to make people aware of their choices to improve their quality of life.” Hochstein said Tiger Blue Goes Green also showcases green efforts by the U of M. The daylong event begins with a bike ride from Shelby Farms Park Conservancy to campus at 7:15 a.m., after which the bikers will take a picture on the Student Plaza. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m there will be several environmental awareness exhibitions in the same location. The event is sponsored by BEST, the Herff College of Engineering, the Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management and the School of Public Health. Cosponsors include the U of M’s Public Health Student Association, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Cycling Club. n

Film Review
Dredd 3D is some serious eye-candy By Evan Lewis
news@dailyhelmsman.com Here are seven words I never thought I’d type: “Dredd 3D” is a stunningly beautiful movie. Adapted from the British comic Lewis anthology 2000 AD and sharing little with the 1995 Stallone stinker we won’t mention, “Dredd” does a commendable job of making us care about a predictable
plot and paper-thin characters. Two cops get stuck in a building full of drug dealers and have to shoot their way out ... roll credits. “Citizen Kane” it is not. Where countless action movies have failed, however, “Dredd” shines as a perfectly self-aware, gritty B-movie with some seriously pretty visuals. Unlike the many rushed, postconverted 3D films saturating theaters, “Dredd” was shot in full 3D, and stands as one of the best uses of the medium to date. It’s a vicious, gory film, and director Pete Travis does not hesitate to show what bullets and explosives can do to a human body — often in excruciating slow motion. Action directors have had a ten-
dency to base entire movies around slow-mo CGI shots in recent years, and “Dredd” is no exception. Where other movies have overused slow-mo almost to the point of gimmickry, however, “Dredd” manages to weave a visual tapestry of gorgeous 3D shots. Rarely has a filmmaker succeeded in making grisly violence as artistic and beautiful as Travis does here. Plot wise, “Dredd” won’t be winning any awards, but there is just enough story here to keep the pace up without any muddying subplots or excessive downtime. The titular Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is a cop who acts as judge, jury and executioner in a post-apocalyptic city where crime runs rampant.
With a new apprentice under his wing, Dredd investigates a triple-murder in a slummy tower and ends up locked in with an army of thugs and drug dealers. This naturally leads to ever-escalating action set pieces for him to shoot up with a variety of destructive toys. The fact that this never really feels forced or boring is a testament to how tightly directed and acted it is. Karl Urban is best known these days as Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy in J.J. Abrams’ successful Star Trek reboot, but before that, he had a mostly forgettable string of roles as a gruff badass wearing a helmet in “Doom”, “Chronicles of Riddick” and the “Lord
Letter to the Editor My nephew is the young man that nearly died as a result of his irresponsible actions at a University of Tennessee fraternity party last weekend and that is a lot for a young man to cope with. However, it pales in comparison to the pressure that he has been subjected to because of the unprofessional manner that this situation was both investigated by the Knoxville and UT Police Departments and reported on by the local, state, national and international media. I would like an opportunity to lay out the FACTS of what transpired. Alexander and many of his fraternity brothers were playing a game to see which two man team could finish a five liter box of wine the quickest. Pretty stupid and Alexander admits and accepts responsibility for these actions that almost cost him his life. When Alexander’s fraternity brothers realized that he was in trouble, pledges were called to the house to take him to the hospital. The Knoxville PD later came to the hospital and subsequently to the fraternity house. They conducted a very superficial investigation and almost immediately released a statement saying that the young men had been engaged in performing alcoholic enemas. There is absolutely no truth in this allegation but local, state, national, and even international media eager to fill up a few minutes of air time or a couple of columns of ink, and with no attempt to verify the validity of the report, began to paint a very decent, hardworking young man as a sadistic pervert. Alexander and his dad have worked hard this week to collect the facts and figure out how such an erroneous report was released. It has been reported on numerous occasions that my brother is in denial over the situation. This could not be farther from the truth. He and
of the Ring” trilogy. Acting entirely with his chin, Urban treads familiar territory here as a gruff badass in a helmet, but injects just enough dry humor to make Dredd a truly likeable character without crossing the fine line into cheesiness. Dredd manages, in the first ten minutes, to literally melt a bad guy’s face and utter his catchphrase, “I am the law,” without being corny or sleazy — a feat any film buff will find commendable. A viewing of “Dredd 3D” won’t change your life, but if you’re in the mood for a fast-paced action romp with some intense eye-candy, you won’t be let down. n
uuLuvmud Alexander both know that Alexander’s own actions were completely irresponsible and are the reason that he is mired in the situation that he is in. What they are categorically unwillingly to accept is the ongoing perversion of the facts as to what actually took place. The actions of these young men were wrong and irresponsible but were in no way the sadistic, perverted acts that are being so recklessly reported. The KPD has ultimately pointed to one of Alexander’s fraternity brothers as the source of the alcoholic enema information. As it turns out, this individual is Alexander’s first cousin and was not even present at the party. He has since signed a sworn affidavit affirming that he never said that things that are being attributed to him. In the end what has occurred here is that we have a police department that rushed to judgment about what took place and a frenzied media, anxious to get their share of a sensationalistic story and did not wish to be bothered with verifying the facts, all with complete disregard for how their actions would portray a young man that had just made the biggest mistake of his life. It is a shame that there is not that same amount of enthusiasm on the part of the media to bring to light the fact that the real story here is how a decent young man’s reputation can be completely assassinated by a report that was issued after conducting almost no investigation and having almost no facts to support its conclusions. But where is the sensationalism in that?

Continued from page 1 landing in a 60-foot long mud pit. “I started running 5K’s last year and am training for the St. Jude half marathon,” said Thien Phung, a biomedical engineering master’s student at the University of Memphis who is running in this year’s race with a team called the MudBloods. “LuvMud seemed like such a great way to train.” Night owls are in luck with the LuvGlo 5K, which will begin at 11 p.m. Saturday. LuvGlo is a glow-in-the-dark themed run where runners paint themselves in neon paint and end the race by diving into a glow-in-the-dark pool. Lasers and black lights cover the course. Spectators can enjoy a party with DJ’s and hot air balloons while they cheer on the runners. Registration for the race — $50 for individuals, $95 for a two-person team, and $180 for a four-person team — is open until an hour before either race. Besides the two 5Ks, there is a kids’ 1-mile run, a dog lover’s race, vendors selling food and crafts, and magicians and stilt-walkers to entertain bystanders. After the LuvGlo 5K, runners can pacify their adrenaline rush with a midnight movie. Campers will be provided a free pancake breakfast Sunday morning before the last waves of runners begin their trek through the mud obstacle course. “Eighty-five percent of our runners dress up as things like comic book characters, Lego pieces and Teletubbies,” Horrocks said. “Last year we had a team of grandmothers walk the course dressed in housecoats and rubber boots.” In June 2012, LuvMud hosted a similar 5K called “LuvMud Island” at Mud Island. “I highly recommend LuvMud Island for those who enjoy this fall’s race, ” Phung said. n

Cravings, support grow for local sub shop By Michelle Corbet
news@dailyhelmsman.com Nearly 1,000 supporters, lovers of soft and hard bread alike, have rallied behind the Super Submarine Sandwich Shop on South Highland Avenue. More commonly referred to as the “Chinese Sub Shop”, the business received news about two weeks ago that it would have to leave behind its current location that patrons have come to know. A black haired woman wearing red lipstick with a giant submarine sandwich in her arms has greeted customers for nearly 50 years from her perch above the door leading inside.
Following The Daily Helmsman’s coverage of the sub shop’s imminent closure, University of Memphis senior Dan Buchanan, a double major in history and anthropology, launched a Facebook campaign to “promote solidarity in the effort to keep Super Submarine Sandwich Shop on the Highland strip.”
As of 8 p.m. Thursday the page had 980 likes and counting. Buchanan said he never imagined the page would receive such a positive response from the Memphis community so quickly. “I think it’s fantastic,” he said. “It’s proof that it’s an institution we can’t afford to lose.” Buchanan said the goal behind the Facebook page is to garner support in finding the sub shop a new home on Highland. “The Chinese Sub Shop, I feel like, is an extension of the Memphis campus,” he said. “It’s an icon of the Highland Strip. Without it there, it wouldn’t be like home.”
A miniature version of the street-side sign hangs on a wall among the tables in the shop. Customers munch on their choice between “soft bread” and “hard bread,” as the woman with the big dark eyes and black, curly hair in the sign smiles at them. “People like that,” said shop owner Jun Hua. “They ask if they can buy for their house.”
From the yellowed ceiling to the outdated 60s-style tables and chairs, it looks like the U of M dive has been there for decades. Well, it has. Hua said the shop was originally opened by an Argentinean woman in the 1960s, whose name she could not remember because “she passed away [a] long time ago.” David Phillo took over the business when the woman passed away in the early 1970s, Hua said, and owned the shop for years before the current owners – husband and wife – took over in 2007. Hua said generations of U of M students have made the sub shop a lunchtime staple and tradition for their families. “Little girl comes, goes to U of M, gets married and has baby,” Hua said. “Then baby eats here.”
Not much has changed since the restaurant first appeared on the Highland strip. The plastic yellow and orange chairs are still there. The silk flowers still sit in the window box, and the famous sign, “where a foot is a foot” still beckons passersby to come in and eat a sub. The people who lease the property are in the process of selling the 9,628 square-foot row of buildings that houses the city’s beloved sub shop to an unknown buyer.
When rumors that the sub shop was being sold started flying around town, Memphians flocked to 614 South Highland
uuTrial Continued from page 1 behind the murder. Ferguson called Stubbs “a snitch who has flipped and rolled.” “Stubbs made an agreement with the state so that he will receive consideration in his plea agreement,” Ferguson said. Stubbs will be tried separately on Oct. 4. Also testifying Thursday was Michael Allison, who said cell phone records inconclusively placed McClain and Mosley near the area surrounding the Hollywood Branch Library where Hancock was found murdered around the time he was murdered – 9 p.m. Other witnesses included the forensic examiner who examined cartridges and bullets recovered from the crime scene and the medical examiner who performed the autopsy. Both witnesses supported the evidence that Hancock was shot seven times in the left side of his neck and chest. The state then rested its case without the three defendants testifying. Closing arguments will be made today, and the jury will be dismissed for deliberation. n
to buy a sandwich. Hua said the shop sold out of chips within 48 hours last weekend. “They come, ask when we close,” she said. “Thinking this may be the last sub.” Sub shop owners said they are looking at rental space on Summer Avenue, Union Avenue and Park Avenue. However, it will probably be a year before the sub shop relocates because it takes time to move and remodel, they said. Sub shop advocates can find the page by searching “Save the Chinese Sub Shop/Keep Super Submarine on Highland” on Facebook. n

One man’s pork, one ministry’s treasure
Central BBQ now available next to campus via ministry fundraiser

Alexandra Slater, 25, orders a tea from the Central BBQ truck located behind the Presbyterian house on the corner of Midland Avenue and Patterson Street.
By Christina Holloway news@dailyhelmsman.com
Central BBQ has found a temporary home located right off of campus. From 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. every Thursday until finals week, students can stop by the Central food truck located behind the Presbyterian Campus Ministry on the corner of Midland Avenue and Patterson Street known as “The Bend”. The idea came about when Central BBQ was a part of the Tiger Spirit Fest in August. Since the ministry owns the lot, the
group was allowed to invite the truck to their property. Ted Sullivan, the event manager of Central BBQ, has been working with the company on and off for six years. He said since the business had such a good time at Tiger Spirit Fest, he agreed to return. “We had a good time at the Inner Faith thing. We called Mary, the coordinator, and she said it was a great thing, too,” Sullivan said. Despite the weariness some may feel about ordering food from an outdoor truck, Sullivan said the perfect scores granted by the Health Department should con-
vince people otherwise. “I would challenge anybody to catch me off guard in that area,” he said. Ten percent of the funds raised from the food truck will go toward a mission trip to Atlanta for the ministry. DOOR [Discovering Opportunities for Outreach and Reflection] focuses its work around the environment, food, children and health. Mary Allison Cates, the Presbyterian campus minister, said the food truck benefits community building, increases exposure and helps her meet more students. “Our budget is pretty low, so it
also helps us significantly,” Cates said. This is the first big fundraiser for the fairly new ministry. There will also be a yard sale Oct. 27, which will feature items donated from members of Presbyterian churches in the area. Psychology junior Alexandra Slater, 35, is the president of the student organization. Slater likes having the truck there because not only does she love barbeque, she said a customer can get a lot for their money. “It increases our presence to people who weren’t aware we existed,” she said. n
uuAlcohol Continued from page 1 report. “I have in my position an affidavit signed by [Carney] and other members that the police pressured him to admit to that,” Broughton said. Carney, a senior UT Pike member, said everything written in the police report about him “isn’t true in any way.” “I never said that butt chugging went on,” Carney said. “I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it ... I didn’t say that went on.” Carney said he was never at the Pike fraternity house that night. The first time he saw Xander was at UT Medical Center. “I got the call after he was brought to the hospital,” Carney said. “That’s why I’m in shock that they said I saw it. I just said he got too drunk.” Carney said the KPD initiated the conversation about alcohol enemas. “I think the cops were looking for a reason; [alcohol enemas] somehow came up,” he said. Carney said the KPD told the UT Medical Center staff that Xander’s dangerously high blood alcohol level was caused by an alcohol enema. “I was talking to the nurses. ‘Why do you think my cousin butt chugged?’ and they said the cops told us,” Carney said. “I think they were looking for something to have, but it was just a college kid who got too drunk and went to the hospital.” Broughton said the KPD has turned its investigation over to UTPD. While the Broughton family is fighting to protect their son from potentially libelous material, they aren’t refuting that their son was drinking under age. “They were drinking,” Broughton said. “We are not denying that. They were playing a drinking game.” Xander told his father the guys at the Pike house Saturday night were playing “Tour de Franzia,” a take on the famous bicycle race, with the goal being to be the first to drink a box of Franzia wine. “They were just slamming it down,” Broughton said. “People wonder how he got so drunk. That’s how. Unfortunately he was the winner.” Broughton said he is worried about his son’s reputation. “We don’t condone his drinking,” he said. “He has learned about his mistake, but he shouldn’t have to undergo these lies.” The national news articles that have been written will affect Xander for the rest of his life, Broughton said. “My son is livid,” Broughton said. “Every time he goes to a job interview they will pull this up.” Carney said Xander doesn’t want to say anything about the situation. “[Xander’s] been told not to speak about it,” he said. Broughton said they have yet to contact a lawyer, but plan to defend their son’s character against defamation. UT police referred media inquiries to UT’s media relations. The office failed to respond to a request for comment as of deadline Thursday. n

Tigers drop conference opener By Bryan heater
bheater@dailyhelmsman.com A defensive battle to begin the Conference USA schedule ended in overtime as the University of Memphis men’s soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision to the Marshall Thundering Herd Wednesday. Junior forward Mark Sherrod attacked the heart of the Herd defense early in the first 15 minutes of the game with two missed shots. He attempted his third shot in the 26th minute with a header that sailed wide of the right post. Sophomore Benjamin Ciosanski also missed a header attempt minutes later. “We are very disappointed to come out of the match with nothing,” head coach Richie Grant said. “I thought we were in complete control. We’re just disappointed to not have anything from the match.” The Tigers outshot Marshall 6-0 in the first half, including a 4-1 advantage in corner kicks. The Tigers missed another scoring opportunity at the beginning of the second half when senior midfielder Dennis Kennetz fired a shot toward the right post that was saved by Marshall goalkeeper Daniel Withrow. In the 55th minute, another shot barely missed as junior midfielder Shane Keely’s shot bounced off the crossbar. “They absorbed what we brought to them,” Grant said. “They were playing on the break a bit.

64th minute on a free kick, which was blocked by the Tiger defense. Marshall had another chance to score the game’s first goal on a free kick after senior defender Andreas Guentner received a red card to put the Tigers down a man. Tom Jackson could not convert the opportunity though, leaving the game scoreless. Memphis had two chances to avoid overtime in the 82nd and 83rd minutes on shots by Sherrod and Keely. Sherrod’s shot hit the post while Keely’s went wide right of the target. The game ended in the 94th min-
ute in overtime. Junior goalkeeper Conor Hurley was drawn away from the goal, a costly mistake that left the Herd’s Jack Hopkins open on a pass from eight yards out to give Marshall the 1-0 victory. “We’ll just have to pick ourselves up and get ready for Kentucky,” Grant said. “We didn’t take our chances tonight. Going to Kentucky, we’ll have to be opportunistic and bounce back real quick from this loss.” The Tigers face the Wildcats of Kentucky in Lexington on Sunday. Match time is set for 1:30 p.m. n
Cross country to run in Rhodes Invitational By Bryan heater
bheater@dailyhelmsman.com The University of Memphis men and women’s cross country teams are set to run in the Rhodes College Invitational on Saturday at Shelby Farms. The United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association South Region Top15 ranked the men’s team at No. 11 Monday after coming off their second top-10 team finish at the Vanderbilt Commodore Classic. Sophomore Daniel Kuhman leads the men with two top-10 finishes. He placed seventh at the Brooks Memphis Twilight Classic and finished ninth at the
Commodore Classic. Junior teammate James Maglasang also has a top-10 finish, placing sixth at the Twilight Classic. Senior Louisa Lingley recorded the top finish on the women’s side for the Tigers at the Commodore Classic, placing 39th individually. The Rhodes Invitational will feature 22 teams from across the South, including Victory University, Delta State, Central Arkansas, Arkansas State, and Christian Brothers University. The race is in its 22nd year, and will be run jointly with the high school Frank Horton Invitational. The men run an 8K while the women run a 6K. The meet is set to start at 10 a.m. n
Athletes from all University of Memphis sports are doing their part to come out and support their Tiger family. The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee has re-launched their annual Blue and Gray campaign to increase student-athlete attendance at Tiger sporting events. “The goal is to encourage camaraderie between all of the sports,” said Kristin Rusboldt, coordinator of student-athlete development. “We have a tendency to get caught up in football and basketball sometimes because they are the most publicized, but this allows our student-athletes to support all of the sports. It is a great way to show spirit for all athletes.” At the beginning of each season SAAC decides which games will be designated Blue and Gray events. Student athletes are then informed of the dates and a reminder text is sent to every student athlete the week of the event telling them to come out and cheer on their fellow Tigers. “SAAC tries to pick competitions that are a rivalry or games where we know having a bigger crowd will make a difference,” Rusboldt said. “We also want to work around other teams’ schedules so that we can have as many student-athletes at the event as possible.” The initiative was started by SAAC a few years ago and was named TAG Team Rallies, but this year marks the inaugural year of the rebrand. At the first Blue and Gray Game this season, athletes came out and helped cheer the women’s soccer team to victory over the University of Central Florida. Rusboldt said the UCF game produced the biggest student-athlete turnout yet. The next Blue and Gray Game is 10 a.m. Saturday at Shelby Farms, where the men and women’s crosscountry teams will race in the Rhodes Invitational. Volleyball, rifle, women’s golf and men’s soccer will wrap up the Blue and Gray Games for the fall and the events will kick start again for spring sports. n

Women’s soccer earns nat’l ranking
www.dailyhelmsman.com
Women’s soccer ready for weekend
By meagan nichols
sports@dailyhelmsman.com The University of Memphis women’s soccer team has been recognized once again as one of the top Division I teams in the country. After last weekend’s wins against the University of Central Florida and the University of Southern Mississippi, Soccer America pegged the Tigers with a No. 25 ranking. “It’s great to be recognized for your success,” said head coach Brooks Monaghan. The National Soccer Coaches Association of America had the Tigers ranked No. 14 in a preseason poll, but several of the U of M’s top players represented their home countries in the FIFA U20 World Cup, missing the beginning of the U of M season. Their absence was felt by the team and contributed to the Tigers falling out of the rankings. Monaghan said the new ranking helps to reassure belief and reassure the players’ confidence. “We’re back,” she said. A ranking can sometimes come with added pressure, but both the new and returning players view the pressure as positive, Monaghan said. With the recent success of both individual players on the team and the team as a whole, Monaghan said his squad needs to carry the confidence from last Friday’s big win against UCF into this weekend’s matches and step on the field ready to play. The Tigers (6-3-0, 2-0-0 C-USA) are slated to lace up Friday night against East Carolina University (6-4-0, 2-0-0 C-USA) at 7 p.m. at Mike Rose Soccer Complex and return to the field Sunday at 1 p.m. against Marshall University (5-5-0, 1-1-0 C-USA). n

bheater@dailyhelmsman.com A 2-1 overtime victory Saturday over then No. 6 Central Florida launched the University of Memphis women’s soccer team into the top-25 rankings by Soccer America, coming in at No. 25. The Tigers can move up further after this weekend, hosting a pair of Conference USA foes. “We’re making strides, absolutely,” head coach Brooks Monaghan said. “We are getting on the same page. We will have to be at our best this weekend.” Friday at 7 p.m., the Tigers (6-3-0, 2-0 C-USA) welcome the East Carolina
Pirates (6-4-0, 2-0) in a game for first place. The Pirates’ offense does not average gaudy numbers, but is efficient. Lexi Miller tops the charts on the East Carolina offense with three goals on the season. The Pirates run a slow and methodical attack, averaging just 1.10 goals per game on an average of 11.0 shots. “The team that dictates the pace will be the favorite to win the game,” Monaghan said. “It is important that we play our game and not fall into their pace.” The Pirates’ defense has been the backbone of the team. East Carolina
is allowing 1.29 gpg with goalkeeper Christiane Cordero holding a 1.29 goalsagainst average and posting four shutouts. The Tigers won both meetings last year and hold a 9-0-2 all-time series lead. Sunday at 1 p.m., Memphis takes on the Marshall Thundering Herd (5-5-0, 1-1) in the weekend’s second match. The Tigers are 7-0 against the Herd all-time, winning at Marshall last season 1-0. The Marshall offensive attack averages 1.80 gpg on 13.3 shots per contest. Chelsey Maiden and Erin Simmons pace the Herd with five goals apiece. Maiden’s five goals and four assists give
her a team-leading 14 points. In the goal for Marshall is Lindsey Kerns, who has a 1.47 gaa, 48 saves and two shutouts. The defense gave up one goal Sunday in a 4-1 win over UTEP. Early conference wins help teams down the road when battles for the top spot are up for grabs. Monaghan said wins this weekend would give the Tigers a leg up as conference play progresses. “Anytime you get a win in the conference, you are separating yourselves,” he said. “Once you beat a team you own the tiebreaker so if it is late in the season and you’re battling for first place it is a huge advantage.” n
