UCF Knights Win Season Opener Against Texas A&M

The UCF Knights Men's Soccer team secured the #3 seed in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament after finishing the regular season with a strong 4-1 record, highlighted by a 2-1 victory over Coastal Carolina, thanks to a late goal from Lucca Dourado. They will face James Madison in the quarterfinals, having previously lost to them earlier in the season without key players. Meanwhile, the UCF Knights Men's Basketball team won their second game of the season against Purdue-Fort Wayne, 75-68, powered by Jordan Ivy-Curry's critical late-game performance. UCF had to rally from behind after trailing for most of the game, with Ivy-Curry scoring a total of 18 points, and Keyshawn Hall contributing a double-double. The Knights aim to build on their momentum in both soccer and basketball as they enter the postseason and continue their nonconference schedule, respectively. Both teams are looking to prove themselves in their respective competitions.
