UNT Beats SMU

DENTON, Texas- Nikki Crocco scored in the 86th minute to break a tie to give North Texas a 2-1 win over area rivals, and the 8th ranked team in the Central Region, SMU in the Metroplex Derby. Crocco scored two goals on the evening, and now has scored five in the past two games.

North Texas (3-0-1) remains undefeated on the season and has won its first contest against SMU (3-2-0) since 2005. Each of the last five games have been decided by a goal or less between the two DFW schools. The game was attended by 1,283 fans, breaking the school record set last year's SMU-North Texas game at 1,246.

This was an awesome game with an overflowing crowd. The NT team is starting to look good.

With the other strong programs in the Sun Belt, this could be a very exciting year...without taking the time to look it up, I think the conference tourney is in Murfreesboro...
