TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 12, 2018 --USF men's soccer looks to extend their home winning streak to four games, as they welcome Temple on Friday night at 7 p.m., and celebrate Soctoberfest at Corbett Stadium.
 
Bulls Up for Owls  
USF is unbeated in six of its last seven matches, and is on a four-game unbeaten streak. The Bulls are coming off a hotly contested double overtime 1-1 draw against SMU, where the Bulls earned crucial conference points on the road and goalkeeper Harrison Devenish-Meares (Sydney, Australia), earned a career-high 10 saves, saving the match for the Bulls on multiple occasions. He was named American Athletic Conference Goalkeeper of the Week for his efforts. 
 
USF remains undefeated in conference play with one victory and two ties, and have played three of its last four matches in double overtime. Tomasz Skublak had the lone goal for the Bulls against SMU and remains the leading goal scorer for USF, with five on the year. He was named to the weekly AAC Honor Roll for his equalizing contribution against SMU. 
 
The Opponent
The Owls (4-5-3, 1-1-1) are also coming off of a double overtime 1-1 draw against Memphis last weekend, when freshman Jalen Campbell scored the leading goal for Temple, before Memphis found the equalizer in the 60thminute. Temple is a strong defensive team and has not lost a match by more than a one-goal deficit all season. Junior Lukas Fernandes leads the Owls in goals and assists, with four and three, respectively. 
 
USF owns the all-time series record against the Owls, 4-1-1, with Temple winning the last contest in 2017 in Philadelphia.
