FAU men’s soccer (2-0-0) ended its final game in the HBU Invitational in Houston, Texas Sunday night with a scoring onslaught, taking down tournament hosts Houston Baptist (1-1-0) 5-2.

It was the first time since 2019 that FAU scored five goals in a game, which the Owls beat Keiser in a 5-2 home victory.

The Owls took less than six minutes to start the game with a goal. Thanks to a foul drawn in the penalty box, senior forward Ivan Mykhailenko continued being a deadeye at penalties as he converted his first goal of the season with ease.
