Mark Sherrod added the insurance goal for Memphis in the 16th minute. Memphis played to a 1-1 draw with the fifth-ranked SMU Mustangs in exhibition play on Sunday afternoon in Dallas. Freshman forward Lewis Ellis scored the Tiger’s goal in the 24th minute, just 20 seconds after entering the game.

The current team won the game, 5-1, behind goals from five different Tigers, including Ellis. Lipscom opens the season Friday afternoon against Georgia State. The Bison are led by senior forward Garret Pettis. Pettis recorded eight goals and three assists last season for Lipscomb.

2011 Men’s Soccer Notes
Impact Players
• U of M Looking to Build Upon Late 2010 Successes Despite a disappointing 5-11-1 record in 2010, the Tigers finished the season with back-to-back wins against Alabama A&M and UAB. Memphis won the two games by a combined score of 10-0. Using the results of the 2010 season as motivation, the Tigers put in additional work during the off-season, including several player led workouts in the winter snow.
Memphis Tigers
• Grant Nears Wins-Mark Head coach Richie Grant, with 107 wins as coach of the Memphis Tigers, stands just three wins shy of tying Chris Bartels as the all-time leader in victories as coach of the men’s soccer team. Grant, the third coach in the 29 year history of the program, is entering his 13th season at the helm of Tigers soccer. • “Four score and ...” The top four scorers from 2010 are returning for the 2011 season. Mark Sherrod, Parker Duncan, and Liam Collins each scored ten points for the Tigers last year. Thomas Shannon tallied nine points, despite only playing nine games in an injury-shortened season. • “Start Me Up” Memphis returns ten starters from last year’s squad, including Parker Duncan, Cody McCoy, Thomas Shannon (started all nine contests prior to season-ending injury), J.J. Greer, Andreas Guentner, Jordan Johnson, Jordan Leedle, Liam Collins, Austin Gross and Mark Sherrod. • The Tennessee Twelve The Tigers have 12 players on their roster from the state of Tennessee:Mark Sherrod, Chandler Gagnon, Bryce Childers, Wil Linder, Cody McCoy, Jordan Johnson, Dennis Kennetz, Jr., Paul Banks, Tanner Thompson, Parker Duncan, J.J. Greer and Jordan Leedle. • “Where in the World?” Eight student-athletes on the Memphis roster are international, representing six different countries. Liam Collins, Conor Hurley and Shane Keely hail from Ireland. The other five international players are Andreas Guentner from Germany, Tiago Reichert from Brazil, Lewis Ellis from the United Kingdom, Patrick Toh, Jr. from Liberia and Giovanni Alvaredo from Mexico. • 78 is the Returning Number Offensively, the Tigers return greater than 78 percent of their offense from 2010 in five major statistical categories: goals (21-of-27, 78 percent), assists (21of-27, 78 percent), points (63-of-81, 78 percent), shots (174-of-214, 81 percent), and shots on goal (80-of-96, 83 percent). • Duncan a Leader Senior Parker Duncan has either led or been tied for the team lead in points scored in each of his first three seasons as a Tiger. In 2010, Duncan and two Tiger teammates (Sherrod and Collins) each scored 10 points. Duncan tallied 11 points in the 2009 season and 13 points in 2008.
