TAMPA, Fla. – Florida Atlantic men's soccer will live to fight another day. The Owls dropped the season finale 2-0 to USF on Wednesday night but with some help elsewhere around the league, FAU still qualified for the American Athletic Conference Postseason Tournament.

A win by SMU against Temple and a draw from FIU against Tulsa was enough to secure the Owls the six-seed. A rematch with FIU now awaits on Sunday night in Miami. The Owls defeated the Panthers in Boca on October 20.

FAU saw its brief two-match winning streak come to an end on Wednesday. USF took the lead in the 12th minute and added an insurance marker with a PK in the 82nd minute. Goalkeeper Rotem Fadida set a new season-high with nine saves.

WHAT'S NEXT

Start time for Sunday's match is still to be determined. Streaming will be available on ESPN+. The winner between the Owls and the Panthers will advance to face Charlotte in the semifinals on November 9.
