Owls' Weekend in Review
The Owls (5-3-2, 4-1-1 C-USA) capped off the regular season with the team's third consecutive clean sheet, whitewashing FIU, 3-0. At the conclusion of FAU's match, the East Division top seed was still up for grabs, as WKU and Charlotte was locked in a scoreless draw late in their match in Bowling Green. But with 40 seconds left, WKU scored the game-winning goal, and clinched the top slot, making the Owls No. 2 in the East.
