HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (UCFAthletics.com) - The UCF women's soccer team opened its weekend road swing Friday by playing to a 0-0 double overtime draw at Marshall in Conference USA play at Sam Hood Field. The Knights (7-2-4, 2-1-2 C-USA) finished with a 23-9 shot advantage, but were unable to score on the road.
The match was the first of four-straight away from home for the Knights. UCF will conclude the weekend trip Sunday afternoon at East Carolina.
Marshall moved to 2-8-3 overall and 0-3-2 in league play following the tie.
