ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFathletics.com) - The No. 12 UCF men's soccer team will host North Florida Wednesday night at the UCF Soccer Complex at 7 p.m. to conclude its three-match stretch at home. The Knights look to continue their win streak against the Ospreys.
UCF (3-0) is led by forward McKauly Tulloch (Kingston, Jamaica), who was voted the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday after scoring a pair of goals in each of this weekend's matches to help the Knights stay undefeated. Tulloch was also named to TopDrawerSoccer.com's Men's College Soccer's Team of the Week.
"We are happy to see him get recognized for his efforts these last two games," head coach Bryan Cunningham said. "Hopefully he can continue to get better as the season progresses."
The sophomore netted both of UCF's tallies in Friday night's 2-0 win over UMass, and took a match high three shots against the Minutemen as UCF outshot UMass, 8-5.
The forward also scored two goals Sunday night against Belmont and took a game high eight shots against the Bruins in which UCF outshot their opponent, 22-14.
Tulloch is a transfer from Akron, the reigning NCAA Division I national champions. While at Akron, he appeared in 10 games and recorded his first career goal in a 5-0 win at Oakland (Oct. 6). Tulloch is now in his first season with the Knights and has five goals and one assist for 11 points in just three games.
North Florida enters this match after defeating Longwood, 1-0, Saturday night on the road. It was the first win for the Ospreys (1-1) under new head coach Derek Marinatos.
Individual match tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for youth and seniors. For just $75, Knights fans will receive season tickets to both soccer programs as well as volleyball in the fall and every softball game and track & field meet in the spring. The 2011 Gold Pass is on sale now and can be purchased online at UCFAthletics.com, over the phone by calling (407) UCF-1000 or by visiting the Bright House Networks Stadium Ticket Office.
