USF women's soccer makes Big East tourney
USF's women's soccer team earned a 0-0 tie at Pittsburgh on Sunday, gaining a much-needed point that gives the Bulls the fifth and final playoff berth from the American division in this week's Big East tournament.
USF (4-9-3 overall, 3-6-2 in Big East) had to wait and watch the scoreboard to see if Syracuse could earn a point with a tie against Connecticut. The Huskies lost 2-0, so the two teams finished with 11 points in league play, and the Bulls get the tiebreaker because they beat the Orange head to head. The Bulls, under first-year coach Denise Schilte-Brown, will likely open the conference tournament Thursday at Villanova, which is the No. 4 seed in the National division. The two teams played to a scoreless tie in Tampa this season.
The USF men's team has already clinched a spot in its Big East tournament and should learn its seed and first-round matchup later today.
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
3-6-2 gets you into the conference tourney? Wow, that is embarassing. Congrats ladies, way to take care of business!!
