Heading Into the Match-Up With South Carolina:
Memphis used a goal from a shoeless Mark Sherrod to defeat previously-unbeaten No. 18 Bradley in Peoria, Ill. Sherrod lost his shoe while making a run on the counter-attack. Freshman Wil Linder found Sherrod, who rocketed a shot past goalkeeper Brian Billings with his shoeless left foot. Conor Hurley earned his second shutout of the season with the help of his defense. The Tiger’s defense held Bradley without a single shot on goal. The Tigers dropped a tough 2-1 decision to the Purple Aces of Evansville following a golden goal by Dylan Terry with under 30 seconds remaining in the second overtime. Evansville jumped out to the early 1-0 lead on a goal by Ryan Stallings, but Memphis would answer. Linder found Sherrod making a run to the left post. Sherrod finished with a tap in. Memphis earned runner-up for the tournament and Sherrod, Linder and Cody McCoy were name to the AllTournament Team.
