Three weeks ago, UConn Men’s Soccer was tied for first in the conference ahead of a big match with USF. Unfortunately, the Huskies lost to the Bulls and have not won a conference game since, with one remaining against SMU at Morrone Stadium.
UConn still controls its own destiny and will be off to Tampa for the four-team conference tournament with a victory over the Mustangs. However, a loss would eliminate them from contention and would likely end their season, as a fifth-place team in the American Athletic Conference likely would not be selected for the NCAA Tournament.
Tulsa and Memphis finished their season on Friday night, with Tulsa getting the win over Memphis by a score of 2-0. Here are the standings with one match to go for the remaining six teams in the conference, all of which are on Saturday.
| Team | Points | Goal Differential | Matches Remaining |
| USF | 15 | +5 | Temple |
| Tulsa | 13 | +5 | |
| UConn | 9 | +3 | SMU |
| Cincinnati | 9 | -2 | @ UCF |
| Temple | 8 | -3 | @ USF |
| Memphis | 7 | -5 | |
| SMU | 6 | -1 | @ UConn |
| UCF | 6 | -2 | Cincy |
