Box Score

TULSA, Okla. – The University of Memphis (8-5-5, 2-2-4 American) men's soccer team fell after 110 minutes of action to the American's top seed, Tulsa (9-4-4, 5-1-2 American), Wednesday night at the Hurricane Soccer Stadium.

After a multitude of chances in regulation left both sides scoreless, extra time of two 10-minute periods seemed to be destined to go to a penalty shootout before Tulsa scored a game-winning goal on a free kick with 10 seconds remaining on the clock.

KEY MOMENTS

31-33' – Memphis strung together a few chances early, with three shots in the span of three minutes, with only Eben McIntyre's requiring a save by Tulsa's Carlito Saylon.
56' – After a foul in the box awarded Tulsa with a penalty kick, Joses Chukwu's shot from the spot was saved by Mathias Christensen, with the rebound going off the left post.
65' – With Tulsa's Peleg Armendariz already with a yellow card in the match, he made a dangerous challenge on Marko Stajnko, with the potential of a second yellow and leaving the Golden Hurricane down a player, but no card was given.
93' – The best chance of the opening frame of overtime came on a scuffed pass by a Tulsa defender leading to a run for Miller Lashlee, who pushed the shot just above the crossbar.
99' – Memphis had another chance in the final seconds of the half, with Marko Stajnko's header pushing wide of the net from a corner kick.
110' – After a foul by Junior Saint Juste in the final minute of the second overtime period, Tulsa's Luc Achermann-Stanfield stepped up to a free kick and found the bottom-right corner for the golden goal.
