Passariello Strikes and USF Notches Win Over Miami 1 to 0

After scoring 3 goals in exhibition play to begin the season, it was only a matter of time before Sharla Passariello would strike in the regular season and it happened today in the win over Miami.  Passariello struck in the 51st minute of the game for the Bulls after both sides played a scoreless first half.  The Bulls and Canes exchanged shots, but neither side could find the net. 

In the second half, after the Passariello strike, Miami had several looks in the net, getting aggressive on offense, but freshman Christiane Endler, starting goalkeeper, made several incredible saves for the Bulls to stop the Miami attack and help preserve the score and the first win of the season for the Bulls. 

The Bulls, 1-1-0, will hit the road to take on Indiana on the 24th (game begins at 7:30PM) for the first game of the season for the Bulls.  After two games, the Bulls look strong on defense, Endler is playing well, the defensive backline is attacking, but the offense is not quite there yet.  They have had a lot of shots on goal, but have not finished.  Stokes, Miller, Bala and others are not on pace yet, but with Passariello heating up, Marsha Harper making in impact, the offense is getting there and will help the team down the road.
