USF Women's Soccer Drops First Game of the Season 1 to 3 to UCF

Looking to get off to a better start than last season, the lady Bulls had a hard time against the 12th ranked UCF Knights as they beat the Bulls 1 to 3 to open the 2012 season at Corbett Field. 

The Knights struck first in the 27th minute, taking the lead into the half (Christiane Endler was in the net for the Bulls in this game).  UCF struck again in the 59th minute, but the Bulls answered in the 76th minute to pull within one with a goal scored by Marsha Harper, assisted by Sharla Passariello (took 2 shots on goal during the game as well).  But a yellow card on Jackie Simpson in the 82nd minute allowed UCF to get the free kick and in the 83rd minute, they went ahead for good 3 to 1 to take the game. 

This is not how the Bulls wanted to get the season going, but they have another game, so they need to shake this one off and get back to work.  The Bulls host Miami on Sunday afternoon at 1PM at Corbett (make sure to bring the sun screen for this game).
