PHILADELPHIA - The Temple men's soccer team (2-8-2) will host RV UCF (7-4) Friday at 7pm. Temple is returning home after its longest road stretch of the season.
LAST TIME OUT: TEMPLE 1 @ PENN 2
> Temple fell to the Penn Quakers in a Philly Soccer Six showdown.
> Amir Cohen scored his first goal of the season early in the first half.
> Keeper Goodwill Agbaadem made a strong impression with two high caliber saves.
THE OWL POST
> Cohen now has at least one point in the last two matches after passing for an assist against Tulsa. His five shots against Penn more than doubled his shot total.
> Jalen Campbell found Cohen for his goal. The Owls now have nine players with at least one assist.
> Spencer Patton was named to the Philly Soccer Six Weekly Honor Roll after scoring against Tulsa.
SCOUTING UCF

> Scott Calabrese leads the Knights in his fifth season. Calabrese has a record of 52-20-8 during his run with UCF. He has taken UCF to three straight AAC regular-season titles and three straight NCAA tournaments.
