Senior forward Sarah Miller opened the scoring for the Bulls in the 21st minute with a breakaway play in a 2-0 shutout against East Carolina (10-7-1, 4-5) at Corbett Stadium on Sunday.
Miller’s one goal would have been enough for a Bulls victory, with the USF defense
limiting ECU to only one shot on goal for the entire game.
Junior midfielder Olivia Chance put the game out of reach in the 48th minute when she scored an unassisted goal from six yards away.
USF had seven shots on goal compared to ECU’s one, and the Bulls had the opportunity to score even more than
they ultimately did.
The Bulls had two shots hit the crossbar in the first half and ECU goalkeeper Erika Lenns made five saves.
With the win, USF (11-6-1, 6-3) secured third place in the AAC standings and will host Cincinnati on Sunday at Corbett Stadium. The time of the game has yet to be announced.
