USF Men's Soccer Notches Exhibition Win Over Jacksonville

The USF soccer season got off to a great start as the men in their first exhibition game beat Jacksonville 2 to 1 at Corbett Field.

The Bulls struck first with a goal by Sebastien Thuiere after a double assist by Ben Sweat and Stiven Salinas to get the scoring started.  10 minutes later, the Bulls tacked on another goal by Brenton Griffiths assisted by Lucas Baldin and Samuel Hosseini to put the Bulls up 2 to 0 going into the half. 

The two sides exchanged fouls and played tough defense in the second half until Jacksonville scored in the 77th minute against Dallas Jaye (Eric Osswald got the start in the game) to pull the Dolphins within a goal, but the USF defense tightened up and held the lead for good.

The Bulls will face the University of Tampa on Saturday night at 7:30PM at Corbett as they look to continue the exhibition season off well.
