George Kiefer's young players make debuts and offer plenty of hope for the future.
The 19th-ranked USF Men's Soccer team fended off the #23 FIU Panthers 1-0 in a preseason exhibition Monday evening at a sultry Corbett Soccer Stadium.
George Kiefer gave fans a glimpse of the future with a starting XI that had only four experienced players: star keeper Spasoje Stefanovic, midfielder Graham Smith, defender Gabriel Pfeffer, and Pitt transfer Brandon Kolcynski (defender). Three Floridian freshmen made their USF debuts as well: defender Jonathan Rosales, midfielder Stephen Rudderham, and midfielder Ben Espinal.
For the first 10 minutes, FIU controlled the game.
