SMU men’s soccer took down Central Arkansas 2-0 on Saturday night, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The win sets up a match in Washington D.C. against Georgetown on Sunday.
With the win, the team’s record improved to 16-2-1 on the season. Its 16 wins are the most for the program since 2010. SMU also improved to 13-0 at home on the year.
Sophomore forward Garrett McLaughlin scored the go-ahead goal for the Mustangs, his team-leading 14th score of the season. McLaughlin also leads the NCAA with eight game winners.
“He’s a hell of a striker,” SMU head coach Kevin Hudson said of his star forward.
