USF-Tulsa Finally Finish Suspended Match; Bulls WIn, 2-1
TAMPA (OCT. 14, 2019) – Nine days after having its match suspended at Tulsa, the University of South Florida men's soccer team and the Golden Hurricane finished what they started on Monday morning, only this time at Corbett Stadium in Tampa, with the Green and Gold getting the 2-1 result.
Â
USF and Tulsa played for 68 minutes on Oct. 5, and the Bulls led 2-1, before bad weather moved into the Tulsa area and caused two lightning delays that eventually caused the match to be called. The match was stopped at 9:44 p.m. ET and then when lightning continued to strike, the decision was made approximately 10:45 p.m. to call the match.
Â
With the Golden Hurricane playing in Orlando at UCF this past weekend, the decision was made to have Tulsa play the Bulls in Tampa for the final 21:36 of the match.
The contest will only count for American Athletic Conference (AAC) standings and the player statistics for postseason AAC awards. The match is not being recognized by the NCAA.
Â
Prior to the stoppage on Oct. 4, the Bulls got early goals in the contest from
Avionne Flanagan (Baltimore, Md.), in the 3
rd minute and
Adrian Billhardt (Berlin, Germany) in the 7
th minute. It is technically the first of the year for each. In addition, Flanagan assisted on Billhardt's goal.
