Bulls Fall Short in Game One of Road Swing
October 15, 2011 | Women's Soccer
By: TOM ZEBOLD USF Senior Writer The USF women's soccer team pushed it to the limit almost two times over. The Bulls worked a scoreless tie into double overtime until Syracuse scored in the 109th minute to hand USF a Big East road loss on Friday night. Syracuse's Cecilia Borgstrum scored on a shot from the top corner of the box with less than one second left in the game, but USF proved to be no easy opponent in rainy conditions throughout the whole contest. Chelsea Klotz had five of the Bulls' 10 shots in the game and keeper Nicole McClure made six total saves in the first of two road games this weekend for USF. What it came down to was a bit of back luck for the Bulls. "We feel like we were a little bit snake-bitten," USF assistant coach Chris Brown said. "We hit the post and the crossbar in regulation and the ball didn't just want its way into the net." USF heads to Queens on Sunday to face St. John's and still is mathematically in the hunt for the Big East Tournament. "We're just going to regroup and see what happens on Sunday," Brown said.
