Owls' Last Match in Review
The Owls (0-2-1) gained their first point of the season their last time out, Feb. 11, in a scoreless double-overtime draw at Florida Gulf Coast.
Cassidy Wasdin earned the clean sheet in goal, and she and the FAU defense turned away 13 Eagle shot attempts, recording four saves in the process.

Owls' Weekend in Preview
Miami (0-9-1) was able to partake in a fall season, almost strictly in ACC play, and fell in all nine matches. Like FAU, in their spring opener two Wednesdays ago, Feb. 17, the Hurricanes also drew with FGCU in Fort Myers, 1-1.

Opponent History
The Owls trail in the series by a slim 9-7 margin, and have won three of the last five, including a 2-1 decision in Coral Gables the last time the two teams met, on Aug. 29, 2019. Now-senior midfielder
Sammy Vitols had one of the two Owl goals, just 1:47 into the matchup; forward
Elisha Holmes, part of the departed 2019 class, the other.
