ORLANDO, Fla. – The UCF women's soccer team earned a 3-0 victory over Tulsa Sunday afternoon at the UCF Soccer Complex. The win marked head coach Tiffany Roberts Sahaydak's 150th career victory in 15 years of coaching. It was also the Knights' first American Athletic Conference victory on the year, as they improve to 6-5-1, 1-3-1 AAC.
The offense started early for the Black and Gold as Sanja Homann scored just 50 seconds into the game to give UCF a very early 1-0 lead.
The Knights kept the pressure on Tulsa throughout the remainder of the first half but were unable to notch another goal and took a 1-0 lead into the locker room.
The Black and Gold came out of the halftime break looking for more, getting multiple chances up front. In the 58th minute Kristen Scott put one in the back of the net off beautiful passes from Homann and Ellie Moreno.
Exactly 10 minutes later, Moreno joined the fun and scored the third of the match with a chip over the Tulsa keepers head.
