TAMPA, Fla. – The University of South Florida women’s soccer team beat the University of Tampa, 1-0, in the first outing of the season Saturday night at the USF Soccer Stadium.



Junior forward Lindsay Brauer (Daytona Beach, Fla.) notched the only goal in the three-period, 70-minute exhibition match. Sophomore midfielder Kaneile Thomas (Royal Palm Beach, Fla.) sent a lead pass to Brauer, who crossed the ball into the upper left 90 of the net for USF’s goal.



“I’m happy we won,” said Denise Schilte-Brown after her first game as the head coach of the Bulls. “By the end of the game we had accomplished the goals we had set out for the night.”
