BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University men's soccer team is just over halfway finished with the 2021 campaign and garnered national recognition midway through the season. Davide Romeo and Filip Jauk have been tabbed to the Top Drawer Midseason Top 100 following a successful collegiate start in both of their young careers. This marks the first time an Owl has been named to the list in head coach Joey Worthen's time at the helm.
Â
Romeo came in on the list at No. 44. The Reggio Emilia, Italy native has started in 10 of 11 games thus far. He has cashed in on two goals, which were scored at Houston Baptist and versus Old Dominion, marking the second most on the team. The midfielder's three assists also ties as the second most on the team. Romeo logged a career-high two assists in the 3-0 Jacksonville win, as well as tallying a season-high 75 minutes against Keiser.Â
Â
Jauk has also had quite a successful freshman campaign as well, coming in at No. 56 on the chart. The Maribor, Slovenia product leads the team with six goals for 12 points and 27 shots, as well as being tied for a team's most game-winning goals with two. Jauk's biggest game of the year came in the 3-2 comeback win over Florida Gulf Coast where the freshman tallied two of the Owls' goals, including the game-winner. He was tabbed Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week following that performance. Jauk is currently ranked second in goals in C-USA.
Â
The Owls are 6-4-2 over halfway through the season. FAU will travel to UAB on Saturday, Oct 23 at 8 p.m. Eastern.
