FAU women’s soccer (3-4-3, 1-0-1 C-USA) went on the road to Miami, Fla. as the team drew 1-1 with in-state rivals Florida International University (1-8-1, 0-1-1 C-USA) on Sunday night.

After more than 13 minutes of action, the Panthers got on the board. Freshman forward Noemi Paquin earned her third goal of the season with a volley shot that sped past freshman goalkeeper Amit Cohen to give FIU the lead.

Whenever the Owls tried to find an equalizer, whether it was senior midfielder Sammy Vitols crossing the ball inside the box or freshman forward Mia Sennes using a short pass to deliver it inside, the FIU defenders continuously intercepted every ball to keep FAU scoreless at halftime.
