The University of Memphis Lady Tigers soccer team. Maybe you have heard of them maybe you haven't. If you have not heard of them, then you need to tune in. This season has been nothing short of magical for the No. 4 Lady Tigers. After finishing the regular season undefeated, the Lady Tigers then ran away with the Conference-USA tournament title for the fifth straight year. The season has seen record after record rewritten. The team is now looking down the stretch run of the NCAA tournament where the team looks to have one of the higher seeds among the field.
As the season stands the Lady Tigers are 21-0-1. To say they have been dominant would be an understatement. Memphis became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to win five-straight tournament titles and has won 14-consecutive matches in C-USA Tournament play.
It is time for people in Memphis to start paying attention to this team. Granted this is a basketball city, but what is happening with this soccer team is nothing short of remarkable. As they wait till 3:30 today to see where they will be seeded, they should sit back and take all this in. Maybe not on the same magnitude, but this run has the chance to rival the great runs in Memphis Tigers history including the Tigers Final Four run in 2008. What they have done is a testament to women's sports worldwide.
