USF women at UCF

When: Today, 1pm

Where: UCF Soccer Complex, Orlando

The Bulls (2-2-1) found their scoring touch in a big way on Friday night, exploding for six goals against Austin Peay. They will need some of that goal scoring ability to handle UCF on the road. The Knights (4-1-1) upset number four ranked FSU at home on Thursday night in overtime and have not been scored on in the last three matches.

UCF and South Florida have not met in a match that counts since 2004 and the Knights will be hoping to claim their fourth victory against instate rivals this season. Senior Courtney Whidden, from Palm Harbor, leads the Central Florida attack with four goals and an assist in 2009. Whidden scored the goal that sunk the Seminoles in overtime.

Two other bay area players are on the Knights roster. Sophomore midfielder Andrea Rodrigues of St Pete has scored one goal this season and freshman forward Paige Goodwin of Tampa has not seen the field yet.

This match is a crucial contest to build momentum for South Florida as it starts its Big East Conference schedule later this week on the road against Marquette.

Admission to today's match is free.
