A remarkable run in the Conference USA Tournament came to an end for FAU men’s soccer (9-7-3, 2-4-2 C-USA) as they lost 2-1 to the University of Kentucky (14-1-4, 3-1-4 C-USA) in the championship game Sunday afternoon in Charlotte, N.C.

The Owls stunned the Wildcats in the 16th minute when freshman forward Pontus Steffensen delivered the ball into the box for senior forward Ivan Mykhailenko to tap it into the net.
