TAMPA, OCT. 20, 2017 – The USF men's soccer team looks to snap its two-match skid Saturday when it travels to Memphis in American Athletic Conference action.

The Tigers split their time between two stadiums: Billy J. Murphy Track & Soccer and the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. USF will be only the second men's team this season to play at the Murphy Track & Soccer stadium since it became the home to the Tigers in August 2017.
