A story of, um, general interest will post at TMGR later tonight, which allows time now for some other stuff here on the blog. Here come the little bullets:
_ UNT (12-5-2, 7-2-1 Sun Belt) has a big women's soccer game on Friday at No. 22 Denver (16-2, 10-0). The Mean Green is on an eight-game unbeaten streak. UNT has a chance to knock off a big rival that's ranked and improve its Sun Belt Tournament seeding from third to second. After some early stumbles, UNT has found some traction. UNT last played a top-25 team in 2009, falling 2-0 to No. 25 Ohio State. UNT is 3-11 all-time against top-25 teams, last winning in 2003 against No. 20 Denver (3-2 overtime).
_ UNT finished the fall men's golf season (three events) with a first, second and third place. Sophomore Carlos Ortiz won twice, and winning once is hard enough. UNT sits 27th nationally in the Golfstat compu-rankings and is also 27th in the Golfweek/Sagarin team rankings. UNT has three votes in the last Golf World/Nike Division I Coaches' Poll, released Sept. 30.
After one day at the World Amateur Team Championships on Thursday, Ortiz and UNT teammate Rodolfo Cazaubon sit in the top 40 of the 206-player event. They're the low scorers (71 and 72, respectively) for Team Mexico (11th place) so far.
_ Shout-out to UNT's volleyball team. Six straight victories and a two-match lead in the Sun Belt West (17-9 overall, 9-2 SBC). Two big home games this weekend, starting with Middle Tennessee at 7 p.m. Friday and Western Kentucky at 1 p.m. Sunday. Great stuff going on in UNT's lesser-profile sports.
