USF Women's Soccer Takes on Rutgers in Second Big East Game

USF women's soccer, after battling Pitt to a scoreless tie, enters this game with a record of 4-3-1 (0-0-1) as they continue Big East play against Rutgers.  Rutgers, 7-3-0 (0-2-0) on the year is ranked 16th in the nation and has a strong front line that will cause issues for the Bulls (game begins at 7PM). 

RU is led by junior forward Jonelle Filigno (5-7) who has scored 8 goals this season and has 2 assists.  She is a top scorer in the conference and will be a huge factor in the game that the Bulls have to take out and make sure she cannot get to the net.  Junior midfielder Maria Gerew (5-6) has 1 goal and 2 assists on the season.  Freshman forward Rachel Cole (5-6) has 1 goal and 1 assist.  Senior defender Shannon Woeller (5-8) has 1 goal and midfielder Erica Skroski (5-6) has 1 assist to round out the Knight attack.

In net for RU is senior keeper Emily Simpkins (5-8).  She has allowed 6 goals this season and has stopped 22 shots.  She is a top talent that has a lot of experience that will try to shut down the USF front line.  Passariello, who started the season on fire, has been held scoreless early ad will need to get going.  Her teammates (Stokes, Harper) and others will need to be factors in this game and attack the net to get the momentum on their side and help try to get a big upset.
