Spartanburg, S.C. – A week after turning in a strong effort at league-favorite Lipscomb, the USC Upstate men's soccer team will look to get back on track when it plays host to North Florida Saturday night at 7 at County University Soccer Stadium.
Upstate led Lipscomb 1-0 at halftime and battled tough in the second half before falling by a 2-1 score in the first A-Sun match of the season. The Spartans enter Saturday's game against North Florida with a 2-6-1 overall record and a 0-1-0 record in the conference. North Florida comes into Saturday with a 4-4-0 overall record and a 1-1-0 mark with three points in the league.
Upstate leads the all-time series with North Florida by an 11-5-1 margin, a series that dates back to 1997 when both schools were members of the Peach Belt Conference in NCAA Division II. The Spartans also own a 48-27 lead in goals scored during the series. Despite losing the first four games of the series after moving to Division I in 2007, Upstate has won the last three meetings by a combined score of 10-3 and scored four goals in each of the last two games against the Ospreys.
