This marks the Owls’ first loss in conference play this season.
FAU men’s soccer (6-2-2, 1-1-2 C-USA) geared up Friday night at FAU Soccer Stadium against the nationally-ranked defending NCAA champions Marshall (7-1-3, 2-0-2 C-USA).
Unfortunately for the Owls, they couldn’t pull off the upset victory as they lost 3-0 in what was a game of hardships for them. This was the first game this season that FAU failed to score a goal.
The first 15 minutes was a defensive dogfight between the two teams. Most notably, senior goalkeeper Neil Strauber had to make an excellent save in the 14th minute due to a passing error from FAU’s backline that allowed Marshall’s senior center-back Nathan Dossantos to get a shot off.
