Hokies put up a good fight, but fall to No. 11 USF, 1-0
BLACKSBURG, Va. - The Hokies (1-2-1) held the defending Big East Champion South Florida Bulls (4-0-0) scoreless through the first half of play in Friday night's game, but were unable to hold on as they dropped a close 1-0 battle to the Bulls.
Both teams had their scoring opportunities in the first half but were unable to generate anything more than three shots that reached the net. Senior captain James Gilson placed a perfect cross to James Shupp in the box, who headed it right to Bulls goalkeeper Jeff Attinella. Soon after, Gilson earned a solid shot of his own, which also fell right into the hands of Attinella, who again proved to be in the right place at the right time.
In the 27th minute of play, Gilson struck again. His shot from 25 yards out would have likely been a goal in the upper left corner had it made it that far, was deflected, leading to a Hokie corner. Attinella then positioned himself perfectly for Charlie Campbell's corner and snagged the cross before any Hokie could put a touch on it.
