USF men beat West Virginia
October 17, 2010
TAMPA (Oct. 16, 2010) – On a day that saw the greats of the University of South Florida men’s soccer program return to the USF Soccer Stadium for its annual alumni day, the current version of the Bulls’ men’s soccer program displayed some greatness of their own as they defeated West Virginia, 1-0, in a thriller Saturday night. The win extends USF’s unbeaten streak to six games, and is the second straight win for the Bulls.
Andre Mittoo scored the matches only goal on a spectacular play that saw the senior forward from Plantation, Fla. take a pass from Marius Krathe and Shawn Chin, split two converging defenders, keep control of the ball deep into the 18-yard box on the right far side and bury the shot on the low far corner of the goal in the 78th minute of play.
Senior All-American goalkeeper Jeff Attinella, who tied a new school record for consecutive shutouts with six – joining former Bull Jeff Gopsill – iced the game with a highlight reel play of his own sprawling vertically and extending far to his left for his third and final save of the night, securing the win.
In addition to the Bulls’ unbeaten streak, Attinella also extended his stretch of not having a goal scored on him to 590 consecutive minute. His clean sheet tonight against the Mountaineers is his 10th of the season and the 28th of his career.
USF improves its record to 8-2-3 (3-1-1 BIG EAST) while West Virginia drops to 7-4-2 (3-2-0 BIG EAST) on the year.
The Bulls head back on the road as they travel to Cincinnati for a 7 p.m. match on Oct. 20. USF will return home for the first of two consecutive home matches against Louisville on Oct. 23 (7:30 p.m.) and Rutgers on Oct. 27 (7:30 p.m.) for what will be the final regular season home match of the year. The Bulls will close out the regular season on Oct. 30 at St. John's (7:30 p.m.).
