FAU men’s soccer (3-6-3, 2-2-2 AAC) had a defensive lapse in a 1-0 defeat against Temple University (3-7-2, 1-5-0 AAC) on Friday night.
The Owls were aggressive in the first half, taking eight shots with two on target. Freshman forward Andreas Raisanen fired one in the 41st-minute and senior defender Tom Abrahamsson struck one a minute later, both to no avail.
Temple broke the deadlock during the second half in the 70th-minute. After a passing error from FAU’s backline, Temple’s forward Sean Karani took advantage by firing the ball past fifth-year goalkeeper Neil Strauber into the net.
