The Owls failed to qualify for the postseason with the defeat.
FAU men’s soccer (4-9-3, 3-4-2 AAC) lost 1-0 in their season finale against the nationally-ranked Florida International University Panthers (11-4-1, 6-2-1 AAC) at Miami on Wednesday night.
With the loss, the Owls will not qualify for the American Athletic Conference Tournament.
FAU placed a lot of emphasis on defending against FIU’s offense. The team was persistent in stopping passes from going through, and whenever the Panthers got a shot off, fifth-year goalkeeper Neil Strauber was there to swat it out.
