The UT Longhorns, held to a scoreless draw on Sunday by Arizona State for the first blemish on their record, travel to TCU Friday night, then host the No. 22 California Bears, 1pm Sunday, Sept. 21.

Both St. Edward's teams held onto their perfect records and national rankings. The men moved to 4-0 on the season, beating UT-Brownsville 2-0, despite playing a man down for almost the entire game, after Ezual Lewis got two yellow cards in the first 14 minutes. This weekend marks their first two Heartland Conference games, at TAMU-International in Laredo on Friday, before coming home to host Newman, 1pm Sunday, Sept. 21, a game rescheduled from last week's hurricane scare. The St. Ed's women (2-0 after beating Angelo State) host Texas Women's Univ., 4pm Thursday, then West Texas A&M, 1pm Saturday, Sept. 20, in the Second Annual Kim Yeatts Memorial Classic, benefiting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. St. Edward's will wear pink uniforms in support of the cause, and donations will be accepted throughout the stands.

There were some surprises in the first day of Champions League action (Europe, and North/Central America) Tuesday and Wednesday. See full results below.

In Europe, Roma were shocked, at home, by little-known Romanians CFR Cluj, 2-1. In CONCACAF play, DC United continued the MLS's miserable showing; with a comprehensive 2-0 home loss to Costa Rica's Saprissa, DC looks like road kill in a tough group. That would leave only the Houston Dynamo alive for the MLS; their Tuesday game was postponed due to stadium damage (though it'll be ready for Saturday's rivalry game against the San Jose Earthquakes). Ironically, the USL's Puerto Rico Islanders and Montreal Impact (from the division the Austin Aztex will join next season) are succeeding where the MLS failed; the Islanders beat Panama's Tauro FC, who knocked out Chivas USA in the last round. And Montreal beat Joe Public, who trounced the New England Revolution.
