MIAMI (August 19, 2017) – The FIU women's soccer team kicks off the 2017-18 athletics calendar on Sunday, Aug. 20 at 6 p.m. when the crosstown rival Miami Hurricanes visit the FIU Soccer Stadium. Sunday will also mark the debut of first-year Panthers Head Coach Sharolta Nonen.
FIU looks for its second-consecutive win over Miami following last season's 1-0 thriller in Coral Gables. The Panthers pounced quickly for their earliest goal of the season. Off a Miami turnover in the defensive third, former FIU standout Alyssa Robinson beat the keeper on her own in the fifth minute for the opening goal and what would eventually be the game-winner.
