In a match pitting the last final unbeaten teams in the conference, No. 7/4 Tulsa outlasted No. 12/6 SMU 2-1 in an instant classic that took two overtimes to move to 8-0-0 on the season and 3-0-0 in American play. The Golden Hurricane outshot the Mustangs 19-16 in a high volume contest, with SMU forced to play the final five minutes of the second overtime with 10 men following a second yellow card.
Papa Ndoye kicked off the scoring at 15:50 of the first half, connecting with a header on the other end of a looping Gabriel Costa cross for his fifth goal of the year and a 1-0 SMU lead.
