Memphis, Tenn. - The University of Memphis women's soccer team had a successful run at the College Classic Cup Saturday at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. The Lady Tigers picked up a pair of 1-0 victories over Alabama and the NSA Club team and earned a 2-2 draw with Auburn.

"I am really pleased with how our team played in all three matches today," Head Coach Brooks Monaghan said. "It was a total team effort and I really like where we are as a team right now. I know it's only the spring, but we played three good teams and we played them all well."

Sophomore Nicky McLeod scored a first-half goal and freshmen Isabel Briones and Amy Clunie posted a combined shutout in goal for the Lady Tigers in the 1-0 victory over Alabama.

The Lady Tigers jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead on Auburn in the opening half of their second 60-minute match of the day, but surrendered a pair of goals after the break to finish squared at two. Juniors Yuiko Konno and Leanne McGee scored the goals for Memphis. McGee's came on a penalty kick.

Konno scored the only goal of the match in the Lady Tigers' 1-0 win over the NSA Club team. Clunie posted the shutout in goal for Memphis.
