TAMPA, Fla. – Temple men's soccer concluded its 2016 season on Saturday night, falling to the American Athletic Conference regular-season champions, USF, 1-0.

Through the first 45 minutes of action, the Owls were able to hold a scoreless draw and post three shots.
Temple goalkeeper Alex Cagle came up with a crucial save at the buzzer of the first half to hold the draw entering the second half.
The Owls were able to battle through the first 18 minutes of second-half action before an offensive surge from the Bulls broke through to take the lead. Nazeem Bartman and Ricardo Gomez assisted Luis Garza on a goal in the 64th minute. Gomez sent a close cross from the right side of the box to find Garza who redirected behind Cagle for the game-winner.
