Owls and Hurricanes Play Out 1-1 Draw
8/20/2023 9:41:00 PM | Women's Soccer
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Florida Atlantic women's soccer tied Miami 1-1 on Sunday night in Coral Gables. The Owls are 0-0-2 heading into Thursday's showdown with Oklahoma State (1-1).
Â
Miami opened the scoring on Sunday off an Owls' turnover in the 37th minute. The response was quick, however. As the end of the first half drew near, a cross into the six-yard box by Michelle Horan deflected into the path of Noa Olivia Ganthier. The junior poked it home past UM keeper Melissa Dagenais for her first goal as an Owl. It was Horan's second assist in as many games.Â
Â
 FAU outshot the Hurricanes 7-4 in the first half. They maintained the pressure after the intermission, but Dagenais stood tall for UM. In the 65th minute, a free kick from Emmy Schliefer was redirected on goal where the Canes' keeper was just able to get a finger on it to tip it wide.
Â
The Owls had one final chance in the dying seconds. Dagenais denied Elin Simonardottir's shot to the far corner to preserve the tie.
Â
The final shot count was 10-5 (5-2 SOG) in favor of the visitors. Blythe Braun made the start in goal for FAU and finished with one save. Sloane Young led the offense with five shot attempts.
