Owls' Weekend in Review
FAU (3-4-3, 1-0-1 C-USA) gained four points in the team's first two league matches, with both necessitating more than 100 minutes of action – in fact, of the Owls' 10 matches so far this season, five have needed extra time. Last weekend, it was a 2-1 win over North Texas Thursday, with the game-winner in the 108th minute; then on Sunday, the contest went the full 110', a 1-1 tie against FIU.
