ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFKnights.com) - A pair of goals in each half helped the No. 7 UCF women's soccer team to a 4-1 win over Temple on Sunday afternoon at the UCF Soccer Complex.
"(Today was) a wonderful team performance," UCF head coach Tiffany Roberts Sahaydak said. "Everyone did their job and put in the work. Temple is a very good team; they were very organized defensively. I'm just really proud of the team effort today."
UCF (12-1-1, 7-0-1 The American) took the lead over Temple (6-9-2, 2-5-1 The American) in the 35th minute as Carrie Lawrence's corner kick found the head of Bridget Callahan, who sent the ball in the back of the net. The duo reversed roles with less than a minute left in the first half, as Lawrence doubled the UCF edge, 2-0, on a pass from Callahan.
Just three minutes into the second half, Kayla Adamek extended the Black and Gold advantage to 3-0 on a pass from Dina Orschmann. The senior recorded the brace in the 68th minute as she collected the rebound from Orschmann's shot and delivered UCF's fourth goal of the match.
