CINCINNATI, Ohio ?  After recording five goals last weekend, the University of South Florida women's soccer team was held scoreless in a 3-0 loss to Cincinnati Friday night in Ohio.

The Bearcats tallied three goals in the first half to drop the Bulls' BIG EAST record to 3-3-1. USF, who is 3-1-1 in its last five games, is now 4-6-2 overall.

"We just didn't match their intensity in the first half," said head coach Denise Schilte-Brown. "Cincinnati came out for their senior night ready to play, and they just took it to us in the first half."

Sophomore Nina Jokuschies and freshman Alyshia Currey each had two shots on goal while four other players tallied at least one shot throughout the night.

Sophomore goalkeeper Mallori Lofton-Malachi made eight saves, but allowed three goals in 76 minutes in goal.

"Although the girls came out and battled a lot harder in the second half, it was too late," continued Schilte-Brown. "Now we are going to put this game aside and get better for out next game, against Louisville."

The 10-3-2 Cardinals are 5-2-1 in the BIG EAST after a 2-2 overtime tie with Marquette tonight in Kentucky.

USF and Louisville kick off at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21 at Cardinal Park.

After the weekend in the Midwest, fans can see the Bulls in action one more time, when Georgetown comes to Tampa to play at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 23. USF then concludes the regular season the same way it began ? on the road. The Bulls head to West Virginia (Oct. 26) and Pittsburgh (Oct. 28), before possibly playing in the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament Nov. 1.
