With defense being a main benefactor for the majority of the Florida Atlantic and South Carolina men’s soccer game, it was not until the 69th minute that an Owls mistake allowed Gamecocks senior midfielder Danny Deakin to score the lone goal of the game.
Deakin took a cross pass from sophomore forward Bjorn Gudjonsson and placed it into the left corner of the goal. It was the senior’s only shot on goal during the game.
The Owls (1-3-1) spent much of the first half in their own end of the field and the Gamecocks took advantage, outshooting FAU 7-2 in the half.
