TAMPA, NOV. 3, 2015 – The Sun Dome will be the stage for USF volleyball's rivalry match against UCF on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
The first 250 fans through the gates will receive a free USF rally towel during the Bulls' Salute to Service Night. Fans out of town can watch a live stream of the match courtesy of BullsVision.
USF (8-16, 5-7) is looking to avenge a 3-1 loss to the Knights on Oct. 21 in Orlando. The Bulls have posted a 2-1 record since the first meeting of the season with UCF after a big road win Sunday. USF stormed back from a two-set deficit to defeat Houston, 3-2, in Texas.
“I'm very proud of our kids and the fight they showed to come back after being down 0-2,” head coach Courtney Draper said. “That showed a huge sense of resilience.”
UCF (13-11, 7-5) looks to extend its winning streak to five matches after sweeping Tulane on Sunday. The Bulls have a 45-29 advantage in their all-time series with the Knights.

More than 2,000 fans packed the Sun Dome to watch the Bulls play two matches in the venue earlier this season. The Bulls took on Auburn and top-ranked Penn State in a pair of matches that were a part of the USF Invitational on Sept. 19.
