Box Score TAMPA (Oct. 7, 2016)— In the women's soccer installment of the War on I-4, the Bulls and Knights split the six points up for grabs after 110 minutes of play ended in a 1-1 tie.
Gudrun Sigurdardottir tied the game in the 35th minute on her second goal of the season.

The Bulls made a last-minute effort, notching four shots in the second OT period, but couldn't find the golden goal.
