Tulsa's 29th-ranked men's soccer team captured a 4-2 win over Denver in the final regular-season non-conference game on Saturday night at the Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium. The Golden Hurricane moved to 6-3-1 on the season, while the Pioneers fell to 3-4-2 overall.

Jarod Stigall pulled Denver to within one just two minutes later as he scored from 30 yards out, but Tulsa held off the Pioneers charge. Hunter Christiansen put TU up again by two goals on a combination from Joe Salem to Parada to Christiansen from 18 yards out.
TU finished with 18 shots on the night, 10 of which were on goal, and had 10 corner kicks. Andy Aguilar logged all 90 minutes in goal and picked up five saves.
