Tulsa's 22^nd-ranked men's soccer team captured a 3-0 win over 11^th-ranked Missouri State on Tuesday night at the Betty and Bobby Allison South Stadium in Springfield, Mo. The Golden Hurricane moved to 4-1-1 on the season, while the Bears fell to 4-1-2 overall.

"We had to play very well today against a very good team," Head Coach Tom McIntosh said. "I thought the guys' concentration level was good. Missouri State put a lot of pressure on us, putting the ball in behind us, and we defended very well. We moved the ball pretty well, we showed good strength in possession and we found the moments to go forward. The group is continuing to grow, which is what we need to do every day."

Tulsa will return to action on Sunday, September 25 against Charlotte beginning at 7:00 pm at the Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium.
