IRVINE, Calif. --- With impending weather conditions, Friday's men's soccer match between UC Irvine and UCF will move up to a 4:00 p.m. start time.

A forecast of heavy rain and potential for lightning is due for Anteater Stadium Friday evening, and the head coaches have agreed to move up the start time in order to avoid playing in the conditions and keep the integrity of the playing surface.

Fans can still purchase tickets ahead of the match. The match will also be broadcasted on ESPN+ with live stats available for fans to follow.
