SMU opened its first conference home game with a win 2-1 win over Memphis in Washburne Stadium, giving the Tigers their first loss of the season.
The Mustangs set the tone early with a strong physical defense and the ability to keep possession early to create space for possible assists downfield.
This method proved more than effective as the Tigers started to lose momentum, giving SMU forward Bailey Sparks the opportunity to assist Mustang defender Mads Westergren with a corner kick in the 38th minute.
