Sherrod has been on an incredible tear this season, scoring 14 goals on the year, the most scored by a Tiger in a decade. Sher-rod was named NSCAA, Soccer America and SoccerSavings.com/Soccer News Net Player of the Week for the week of Oct. 10-16. He was also named C-USA Player of the Week and was placed on the TopDrawerSoccer.com and College Soccer News national teams of the week. In Memphis’ games at Tulsa and against UNO, Sherrod recorded hat tricks. The striker attempted 14 shots, placing 10 on goal, en route to scoring six goals. He now has 30 points on the season, tying former Memphis-great Dayton O’Brien’s 2004 total for the most since Sean Fraser’s 42 in 2001.

Heading Into the Match-Up With Kentucky: The Tigers dropped a heartbreaking contest with UAB, 1-0, on Wednesday at Re-gions Park in Hoover, Ala. With under 30 seconds remaining in the contest, a contro-versial foul was called in the box and a yellow card was issued to defender J.J. Greer. Babayele Sodade converted on the resulting penalty kick giving UAB the win. Memphis’ backline of Greer, Shannon, Johnson and Gagnon, along with goalkeeper Conor Hurley, negated the Blazer attack for most of the contest. Until the PK, the Tigers only surrendered three shots, with none coming on goal, and forced five Blazer offside calls. Meanwhile, Memphis finished with eight shots on the game, two coming on frame. The Tigers were whistled for five more fouls, 16-11, than the Blazers. However, none was more costly than the last. Kentucky enters the contest losing five of their last six games. The Wildcats fell to Indiana, 2-0, on Wednesday. Their lone win in C-USA play was a 3-1 victory over Tulsa.
