USF men’s soccer secured a 1-0 victory over UConn on Saturday night in the first round of the American Athletic Conference tournament to advance to the semifinal where they’ll face No. 3 seed SMU on Wednesday.
The Bulls (11-5-1) got on the board in the 51st minute courtesy of a strike from junior forward Adrian Billhardt, his fifth of the season.
USF had to play the final nine minutes of the match down a man after freshman forward Ignasi Lupon Fores was issued a red card after a dangerous slide tackle.
Senior goalkeeper Harrison Devenish-Meares recorded his fifth shutout of the season, and second in three games.
