UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — No Wayny Balanta. No Jasmine Vilgrain. No Tatum Sutherland.
No problem.
On this SMU team, every player is sufficient. Even with significant absentees on the day, it appears this was completely right as No. 16 SMU team extended its unbeaten run to three after dispatching Tulsa 2-0.
SMU head coach Chris Petrucelli’s decision to rest significant players was not uncalled for. The first team had played out a tense 90 minutes for a two nil win against Temple only three days earlier, with many tired players in the team, there was a need for fresh legs going into this weekend’s tie.
