"We are excited to get the season started," Rhein said. "We have a difficult schedule with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in the non-conference, as well as our tough American Athletic Conference slate. It is all part of the growth of the program, and we are looking forward to the challenge."

TU registered a 6-9-2 overall record, including a road win over Temple for the Golden Hurricane's first league road victory in nearly three years, while Madison Williams was named to the American Athletic Conference all-rookie team.

Tulsa will begin the season with a pair of road games at Mid-America Christian (Aug. 18) and at Kansas City (Aug. 21). This will be the first meeting between TU and the Evangels, which recorded 11 wins last season, while the Golden Hurricane has a 3-1 advantage in the series over the Roos, which had six wins a year ago.
