Fans unable to attend the match in person can watch it live on TulsaHurricane.com/watch. There is a 24HR Pass, a Monthly Pass and Yearly Pass that allow you to watch all TU home men's and women's soccer, volleyball and softball games depending on the package purchased.

Tulsa returns 19 players, including seven starters, from a year ago, and welcomes 11 newcomers to the roster under the direction of Head Coach Tom McIntosh, who is beginning his 25th year.

The Golden Hurricane attack is led by junior midfielder Chase Bromstedt, who was a unanimous selection to the American Athletic Conference Preseason All-Conference Team. As a sophomore, Bromstedt picked up The American all-conference second team accolades, while ranking first on the team in goals (4), assists (6), points (14), shots (38) and shots on goal (14). He also ranked sixth in assists, eighth in points and 10th in goals among the league's best.

Gonzaga is coming off a 2-14-2 season a year ago, including a 0-7 mark in the West Coast Conference. Demitrius Kigeya was named to the Preseason All-West Coast Conference Team, while the Bulldogs were selected to finish seventh as a team in the preseason WCC poll. Tulsa has a 2-0 lead in the series over Gonzaga, including 2-1 wins in 1993 and 2002.

Lipscomb posted a 10-10-1 mark last season, including a 5-1 record in the ASUN, and advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. The Bisons landed four players, seniors Austin Eager and John Wynia, junior Ben Locke, and sophomore Noah Gulden, on the 2019 ASUN Preseason All-Conference Team, and were voted to the top spot in the Preseason ASUN Coaches Poll. Tulsa won the only previous meeting with Lipscomb, a 4-1 decision in 2010.
