Unt Soccer At Red Raider Classic

Mean Green Matt · September 10, 2010

North Texas Soccer will be competing in the Red Raider Classic this weekend. Live Stats will be available on the Texas Tech website. The two opponents for the Mean Green are Texas Tech (Friday at 7:30pm) and Lamar (Sunday at 11:00am). The other team competing is Oral Roberts. UNT currently sits at 4-1-1, and is coming off a hard fought tie with a New Mexico who at the time (not anymore) was receiving top 25 votes. Our next opponent is on the current list of vote-getters...

Texas Tech: The Red Raiders currently sit at 5-1-0, with their only loss coming to third ranked Notre Dame (2-0). They are currently receiving votes in the NSCAA national top 25 poll. TT completely shut out their opponents in its first five games, outscoring them 13-0. This may be an even tougher game for UNT than UNM, although, Texas Tech did lose 2-1 to New Mexico in a preseason game.

Last Meeting: 2009 - UNT beat the Red Raiders in OT here in Denton, 2-1.

Lamar: Lamar is 2-2-0 on the year. Losses to Louisiana Tech, and Louisiana-Lafeyette. One of their wins was a 2-1 victory over a Prairie View A&M team that UNT beat 6-0 earlier this year in Las Cruces. With their only other win against Texas-Brownsville, I think UNT should be able to handle this one.

Last Meeting: 2008 - UNT beat the cardinals 2-0 in Denton.

All in all this should be a fun weekend of soccer! After these two games its UNT vs. SMU next Friday at the Mean Green Soccer Field!

Hey guys, there may be a free video feed for the UNT vs. TT game tonight. I am not positive, but it does not say a premium membership is required, and does not ask for a login like the ones labeled "premium." Here is the link: Possible Game Video

If that does not work here is a link to the live stats if anyone is interested: Live Stats

Not sure if I am going to be able to follow this one tonight...the girlfriend wants to go to Clark Park for the Pep Rally. I'm not sure whether I would rather watch the soccer game or go to the Pep Rally. I may not have a choice. :unsure:

Go Mean Green!

I didn't see a replay , but it looked like a mean green player knocked it in for Tech off a penalty kick in the 80th minute , 1 - 0 Raiders with under 5 min left...

Texas Tech wins 1-0. I did not get to watch the game, but since Tech is ranked right around #30 in the country, I think we may have a pretty good team.
