MEMPHIS - The University of Memphis men's soccer team will take on FC Dallas in an exhibition match on Saturday at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas.

Playing a professional team in exhibition play has become a spring tradition for the program. Memphis has played against FC Dallas in three of the last four springs. The squads last met in 2006 and the MLS team came away with a 2-0 win. The Tigers have also faced professional teams from Kansas City and Atlanta in recent years.

The match will begin at 4 p.m., not 5 p.m. as originally scheduled. It will also mark the first time new Memphis assistant Mat Santoro will be on the Tiger sideline.
