Emil Cuello scored two goals, the second in overtime, as SMU beat No. 16 Akron 4-3 Monday night in a rematch of a quarterfinal game of last season’s NCAA Tournament. Ten months earlier, the Zips knocked SMU out of the tournament to advance to the national semifinals.

Very proud of @SMUSoccerM tonight. Great team win vs Akron! Just one step on the journey but a big step forward!
