Oscar Resano records the brace for the Bulls.
TAMPA (Oct. 12, 2022) – The University of South Florida men’s soccer team closed out its 2022 nonconference schedule on Wednesday night with a tough 3-2 loss to instate foe Stetson at Corbett Stadium. The Bulls fall to 3-4-3 overall on the year while the Hatters improve to 4-2-5.
Despite the setback, the Green and Gold are unbeaten in five of their last six matches, and their last five American Athletic Conference outings.
South Florida dominated the majority of the match outshooting Stetson, 18-9, including a 12-3 margin in the first half and a 5-2 shots-on-goal advantage during the first 45 minutes of play.
Oscar Resano scored two goals during the contest, his first two of the season, in the 10’ and 24’. That was all the Bulls could get by Stetson goalkeeper Nicolo Radaelli, despite several opportunities during the night. One chance included Resano nearly getting a hat trick by putting a shot that was slightly deflected off the left post in the 74’.
Stetson closed out the final 11 minutes with goals in the 79’ and 90’ to secure the victory.
Resano finished the night with a match-high five shots, including two coming on frame while Marcus Victorio had three shots.
