ORLANDO – The UCF women's soccer team is back at home this weekend playing No. 13 Ole Miss on Sunday at the UCF Soccer Complex at 6 p.m. ET.
The Knights were scheduled to play North Florida this past Thursday, Sept. 1, but unfortunately due to inclement weather the game was canceled. There are no current plans to reschedule, however if that changes, new information will be announced.
The team has kicked off the year strong with a 2-0-2 record, which is their best start since 2002 when they started 4-0-0.
UCF faced off with Ole Miss for the first time in six years during the 2021 season and came out on top with a 3-0 win. The team put up a strong defense holding the Rebels to 24 shots, with seven saves by goalkeeper, Caroline DeLisle.
