Washington, DC - The Florida Atlantic University men's soccer team defeated Howard University 2-1 on Friday afternoon. The game-winning goal came on a free kick by senior Borce Ancevski in the 86th minute. The free kick came after Howard's Marcel Storer was given a red card after receiving a second yellow card. Ancevski blasted a shot from 30 yards out that found its way just inside the left corner of the net.
The Owls fell behind when Haribo Kamara-Taylor scored on a pass from teammate Shakir Davy in the 59th minute. Ancevski's goal came just a little over a minute after teammate Shire Standnes scored on a header following a misdirection ball that tied the score 1-1.
FAU (5-8-1, 2-2-1 ASC) is currently tied for the fourth and final spot in the Atlantic Soccer Conference tournament with New Jersey Tech. The Owls hold the tiebreaker by virtue of their 2-0 victory over the Highlanders last weekend.
