Conference: 1-2-0
Streak: W2
Andreas Guentner put the Tigers on the scoreboard in the 32nd minute with his second goal of the season and first game-winner of the year for the midfielder. But, the Tigers pressed on and Mark Sherrod scored three goals in a span of just over 21 minutes to post a hat trick. Tiago Reichert finished the scoring for the Tigers in the 88th minute, as Memphis won, 5-0. Sophomore Liam Collins recorded three assists in the game, while Chandler Gagnon, Wil Linder, and Lewis Ellis each tallied one assist. The Tiger defense was stifling, allowing only one shot attempt, which Hurley saved en route to his second-consecutive shutout. October 16
