The Bulls took the field for the last exhibition game of the season as they faced off against Jacksonville at Corbett Stadium.
The Bulls and Dolphins were scoreless in the first half as both teams took several shots on the goal, but many went just high or wide. Christiane Endler got the start in net as Coach Schilte-Brown continues to rotate players, looking for the best fit and to get everyone in rhythm and add a few minutes on the field. Sydney Drinkwater and Summer Ikeda both came into the game as well.
The offense for the Bulls was aggressive, especially late. Cara Patterson, Demi Stokes, and Sarah Miller all took a shot at the goal, but it was Sharla Passariello, who scored 2 goals in the win over FGCU in the first game, that was the most aggressive in the game. After getting a yellow card in the 80th minute of the game, she scored the game winning goal in the 8th minute, assisted by Daniella DeArade.
The Bulls rotated a lot of players and from what we can see early in the game and the first game against FGCU is that the Bulls are very aggressive, fast, and athletic. The team has depth and were able to continue to attack on the front line, which is the strength of the team. The backline is a little young and the goalkeeper position is still a bit uncertain (although Ikeda will most likely be the starter), the team is on a high note as they prepare for the season opener against UCF on Friday night at Corbett at 7:30PM.
