JACKSON, Miss. (Aug. 19, 2016) – A new location and a lengthy weather delay couldn't slow down the USF women's soccer team as they defeated Louisiana-Monroe, 2-0, Friday afternoon in Jackson, Miss.

The Canadian duo of Jordyn Listro and Leticia Skeete put USF (1-0-0) on top in the 27^th minute. Skeete scored the Bulls first goal of the season on a beautiful assist from Listro for the game winner.

In the 67th minute, freshman Andrea Hauksdottir scored her first collegiate goal to give USF some breathing room. A deflected shot from Trudi Carter allowed Hauksdottir to gather the rebound and finish the goal, putting the Bulls up 2-0.

Key Stat:

USF used an 11-1 shot advantage and a 4-1 corner kick advantage to control the momentum of the first half and take the early lead.
