ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFKnights.com) – The UCF women's soccer team officially opened its season on Wednesday as the Knights held their first training day of 2017.
The two-a-day session involved fitness testing early in the morning before on-field work in the afternoon.
In just one week, UCF welcomes Miami to the UCF Soccer Complex for the first of two preseason exhibitions. Slated for a 7 p.m. start, fans will get their first look at the six newcomers that will join 13 returners.
