The Florida Atlantic Owls women’s soccer team (6-4-3, 2-1-1 AAC) defeated the University of North Carolina at Charlotte 49ers (5-4-4, 1-1-2 AAC) on the road Thursday night 1-0.
The game started out slow with neither team giving up a goal. Earlier in the first half, FAU junior forward Sloane Young had an opportunity to strike the game’s first goal, but was denied by Charlotte senior goalkeeper Emma Wakeman.
Both teams relied heavily on defense during the entirety of the first half, with multiple penalties going to both teams. Around the 30-minute mark, Charlotte senior forward Tash Hudson provided a corner kick to FAU’s net, which FAU senior goalkeeper Lexi Gonzalez saved.
