Owls' Thursday in Review
FAU (3-4-2) upended North Texas to start off the C-USA slate. The Mean Green had only given up five goals – with five shutouts – in their first nine matches, and led 1-0 at halftime, but
Mia Sennes tied it up in the second half, and
Miracle Porter sent the home fans home happy with the golden goal in the second overtime.
