Anderson’s Brace Leads Bulls Past Elon

TAMPA (September 17, 2023) – South Florida men's soccer (2-4) topped Elon (1-3-2) and successfully defended Corbett Stadium on Sunday night.
 
30 minutes into match play, Elon managed to get on the board first. Then midway through the second frame, the Bulls hit their stride. In the 74th minute, Jalen Anderson netted the equalizer. Just seven minutes later, Anderson struck again to put USF up 2-1. Ajmeer Spengler had a foot on both assists for South Florida.
  COACH BUTEHORN SAID
"It was a tough game," said head coach Bob Butehorn. "They caught us on an early one and we entered scramble mode. I'm just glad the guys dug in and found a way to get some goals and get the job done."
  
NOTABLE NUMBERS
  • The Bulls won the first-ever meeting against Elon.
  • Anderson now has 3 goals on the year (15 career).
  • South Florida has now won two of its last three matches.
  • Anderson's brace marks the first of the 2023 campaign.
