This is our Knightcap, where we catch you up on UCF sports action from the evening that was.
And it was a good opening night for UCF sports, which were all on the road:

Women's Soccer clipped by Texas in OT
#23 UCF Women's Soccer came up short in their season debut in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, as a 93rd-minute overtime goal by Cyera Hintzen gave the #21 Longhorns a 2-1 win:

UCF fell down 1-0 on Hintzen's first goal of the day in the 23rd minute, but Zandy Soree tied it up in the 29th minute.
Dina Orschmann did see action for UCF fresh off returning from the U20 World Cup, and picked up an assist on Soree's tally. Her Team Germany mate Stefanie Sanders did not make the box score.
NEXT: UCF (0-1) faces #4 North Carolina in Chapel Hill Sunday at 2 p.m. The game will be streamed on Watch ESPN.
A couple of reminders: UCF beat UNC 2-1 last year in OT in Orlando. Also:
This is your reminder that @UCF_WSoccer lost their opener at South Carolina last year 2-0, and then didn’t lose again until November.
