Bulls To Battle FC Tampa Bay Rowdies

TAMPA - The University of South Florida men's soccer team will host the FC Tampa Bay Rowdies at the USF Soccer Stadium on April 10 at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $5 for both adult and children in advance or $7 at the gate on game day. Fans can purchase tickets in advance by calling 1-800-GoBulls.

In addition to the game, there will be a Youth Soccer Clinic conducted by the USF and Rowdies players and coaches at the USF Training Facility next to the soccer stadium. The clinic runs from 6-7 p.m. The cost of the clinic is $10 and that includes a game ticket. Participants in the soccer clinic must bring their own soccer ball.

There will be a festival-type atmosphere, during the clinic and prior to the game, with music, games, prizes, contests, face-painting, Easter Egg Hunt, B-B-Q, give-a-ways and much more.

This past season, USF advanced to the second round of the 2009 BIG EAST Championships before falling to Notre Dame in penalty kicks. The Bulls also advanced to the second round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament before falling to No. 1 ranked and top-seeded Akron. USF finished the season with a 14-4-3 overall record and a 6-3-2 record in the BIG EAST Conference.
