Memphis takes its unbeaten American Conference record on the road to Temple’s home field—hosting UTSA Thursday, then visiting North Texas Sunday—with the Tigers looking to strengthen their grip on first place. They enter the week three points clear of Charlotte after a 2-0 win over Temple.

By the Numbers
  • Memphis: 5-0-1 in conference play, 16 points and four conference shutouts.
  • UTSA: 6-3-5 overall; North Texas: 4-6-4 overall.
  • Memphis leads the all-time series against UTSA, 3-0-1, and North Texas, 3-0-1.
  • Memphis has outshot opponents 239-87 through 13 matches.
Yes, But

Memphis is unbeaten in conference play, but UTSA eliminated the Tigers from last season’s conference tournament after rallying from a two-goal deficit in the final minutes. North Texas also presents a scoring threat: Claire Niedermeier leads the conference with 11 goals.

State of Play
  • Memphis is the conference’s last unbeaten team, three points ahead of Charlotte.
  • UTSA sits seventh and North Texas 10th in the conference standings.
  • Both matches will stream on ESPN+.
What’s Next

Memphis hosts UTSA Thursday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. CT, then travels to Denton to face North Texas Sunday at 1 p.m. CT.

Bottom Line

Two wins would give Memphis a valuable boost in its conference title push, but the Tigers face different tests: a chance to avenge last year’s tournament loss to UTSA and a road matchup with North Texas’ leading scorer.
