The Tulsa men's soccer team started the season with a 2-1 win over #15 Michigan on Friday night at the U-M Soccer Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. TU moved to 1-0 on the season while UM fell to 0-1 overall."It was a good start to the season," Head Coachsaid. "We were able to get that early goal as Gilles played a great ball through to Seba (), but I didn't think we were very composed and didn't combine like we are capable of doing, which was due to Michigan's pressure, and they were able to get a goal back. Then to get the late goal off the corner was great movement by Gustavo to get the header and Joe to finish it off.""In the second half we were able to dictate the tempo with our passing, but Michigan continued to press for the tying goal. I thought we could have been more composed in the final 15 minutes, but I am happy with the progress we made in the second half. We also have to creditbecause he made some big saves. He is very confident and controlled his box, and we had to rely on him so he was huge tonight."opened up the scoring in the 11minute as he picked up a pass fromat the 18-yard box to put the Golden Hurricane up 1-0.
