Memphis is coming off a week in which it recorded a 4-2 record in four games at the Adidas Golden Panther Invitational and a double-header at Grambling State.

The Tigers went 2-2 at the FIU tournament, logging a 9-2 win over St. John's and a 3-0 blanking of FIU on the first day of the event before falling 4-1 to Notre Dame and 1-0 to Buffalo on day two. The third day of the tournament was then cancelled due to rain and Memphis was awarded the runner-up trophy after earning the #2 seed following pool play.

Following the FIU tournament, the U of M traveled to Grambling, La., where it took 14-0 and 22-0 victories to sweep the double-header from Grambling State.

With the 4-2 record on the week Memphis pushed its mark to 7-3 on the year.
