MIAMI (August 26, 2016) – The No. 23-ranked FIU men's soccer team took its show on the road to kick off its 2016 campaign and did so against a team, like itself, who won its conference tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament a year ago.
The Panthers, unfortunately, began this season much like 2015 ended, with a tough hard-fought loss, as Furman defeated FIU, 1-0, on the first day of the Nike/Aaron Olitsky Memorial Soccer Classic hosted by the College of Charleston. The defeat marks the second-straight season-opening loss for the Panthers, and its fourth consecutive loss to the Paladins in the all-time series.
