Game Notes
ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFKnights.com)—Due to Hurricane Matthew, the American Athletic Conference match between UCF and Tulane. The Knights and Green Wave will face off at 1 p.m. Sunday at The Venue.
"I think Tulane is the surprise team of the year," head coach Todd Dagenais said. "Coach Barnes took over that role this year. We always knew that Tulane had the makings of being an excellent team and (Barnes) is starting to put those ingredients together. I can guarantee that Tulane is going to come in here and be on fire, wanting to beat us."
