 ORLANDO,
Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Freshman Nicholas Robson (Auckland, New Zealand)
scored two more goals Saturday night for UCF (6-7-3, 2-5-1 C-USA), but
visiting No. 12 Tulsa (11-4-2, 6-1-1 C-USA) had too much firepower as the
Knights fell 6-2 in their season finale at the UCF Soccer Complex.
The highly-ranked Golden Hurricane clinched the Conference USA regular
season championship with the victory and will host the C-USA Championship
beginning Nov. 13.
UCF had a chance to get on the scoreboard first in the second minute of
the game, but a penalty kick by sophomore
Kevan George (Decatur, Ga.) missed wide left.
Tulsa dented the scoreboard in the 23rd minute of the game, when Austin
Neil scored in close after passes from Ashley McInnes and Kilian Poeschk.
In a three-minute stretch in the first half, Tulsa increased its lead to
3-0 with goals from Blaine Gonsalves and McInnes in the 34th and 36th
minutes respectively.
Robson tallied the first of his two goals in the 42nd minute to give the
Knights a goal heading into halftime. Freshman
Adam Kraemer (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) played a beautiful ball over the
top which Robson ran down before beating the keeper one-on-one.
Tulsa's Justin Chavez scored in the 55th minute to give the Golden
Hurricane a 4-1 edge, and three goals in the final 10 minutes.
Robson's second goal of the night and eighth of the season came in the
89th minute, when the freshman again got behind the Tulsa defense for a
through ball and beat the keeper to the far post. Junior
Yaron Bacher (Atlanta, Ga.) and freshman
Michele Martucci (Miami, Fla.)
With eight goals and six assists, Robson finished the season with 22
points and led UCF in all three categories. He also fired a team-high 47
shots, including six on Saturday with five on goal.
