Chance, Bulls eager for UConn rematch
USF senior Olivia Chance enters Thursday night's rematch against Connecticut with a team-high six goals.Her candor's as distinct as her New Zealand accent and glistening green eyes. If frankness were a 50-50 ball, Olivia Chance would be Abby Wambach.
"We're very up-front, New Zealanders," USF's prolific 21-year-old midfielder said. "We like to say it how it is."
This is how it is: Chance took last season's loss in the title match of the American Athletic Conference tournament personally. When her shot in the penalty-kick phase (after 110 scoreless minutes) was deflected by lunging Connecticut goalkeeper Emily Armstrong to clinch things for the Huskies, Chance hit the cold tub.
