Orlando, Fla. – After clinching a berth to the American Athletic Conference Championship tournament last time out, the UCF women's soccer team (8-5-1, 3-3-1 AAC) looks to extend their three-game winning streak as they travel to Cincinnati (6-7-3, 1-4-2 AAC) for the final regular season contest of the year.
The Knights enter the contest after a dominant 5-0 win over Temple at home, where Ellie Moreno and Kristen Scott each netted two goals, and the UCF defense held Temple to just a single shot in the match.
Defenders Ariel Young and Mathilde Kack earned Conference Rookie of the Week and Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, for their efforts in the win. Kristen Scott was named to the Weekly Honor Roll for her goals, and an assist on an Ellie Moreno goal.
Cincinnati enters the match up looking for their first victory since Sept. 26, where the Bearcats defeated Murray State on the road in double overtime, 2-1.
