Three professional teams, including the Swope Park Rangers, Tulsa Roughnecks and Oklahoma City Energy, highlight the 2017 Tulsa men's soccer spring schedule, as announced today by head coach Tom McIntosh. TU will host four of the six games this spring at the Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium.

TU tallied 32 goals from 13 different players, including a team-best eight scores by freshman Matthew Puig. Tulsa ranked first in goals and points (91), and second in shots (279) and assists (27) in The American.
TU will take on the Swope Park Rangers, the Sporting Kansas City USL affiliate, to begin the season on Sunday, February 26 in Kansas City. SPR is in just its second-year of competition after posting a 14-10-6 mark last season.
Tulsa will start a four-game home stand beginning with the Tulsa Roughnecks on Saturday, March 4.
