TAMPA, Fla. August 31, 2018– USF men's soccer fell 1-0 to Virginia Tech on Friday night in front of nearly 1,000 fans at Corbett Stadium.
Despite taking over 20 shots, four of which coming on frame, USF (0-3-0) did not connect with the back of the net while Tech (3-0-0) scored in the 24thminute. Virginia Tech's Kristo Strickler punched in a slow-moving ball on the ground after a corner kick placed the ball in the six-box, which was first headed by teammate Marc Hoppler before being deflected to Strickler's feet.
"As a coach you always look at the positives and I really felt like we made adjustments at halftime and came out and deserved at least a tie and should've won,"head coach Bob Butehorn said.
