The Tulsa women's soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision to UCF on Sunday afternoon at the UCF Soccer and Track Complex in Orlando, Fla. The Golden Hurricane fell to 6-6 on the season and 0-2 in American Athletic Conference play, while the Knights moved to 6-2-2 overall and 1-1 in the league.

"We put so much heart, energy and emotion into Thursday night, and it is hard to bounce back from that on a hot afternoon," Head Coach Kyle Cussen said. "I thought there were times we played pretty well. We are a possession oriented team, but we didn't seem to have the legs today to get open, and our movement off the ball wasn't as good. We created chances and we were fighting, but it was tough to get down 1-0 right before halftime. When we started the second half you could just tell we didn't have the legs. We tried to sub to keep fresh legs, which did give us a spark, but we were a bit unfortunate and the ball doesn't seem to be bouncing our way right now."

Asia Ervin put the Knights on the board with just 36-seconds remaining in the first half, putting UCF up 1-0 heading into the locker room. Zandy Soree made it a two-goal cushion in the 53^rd minute and Talia Gabarra recorded the final score in the contest in the 79^th minute.

UCF had a 25-10 lead in shots, including a 7-3 advantage in shots on goal, and an 8-0 lead in corner kicks.

Liliana Fernandez had a team-best three shots for TU, while Emilie Torres, Averee Dubach and Mia Darden each had two attempts, and Neha Igwe recorded one shot. Mica MacKay logged all 90 minutes in goal and picked up four saves.

Tulsa will return to action on Thursday, October 3 against Temple, beginning at 7:00 pm at the Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium.
