Owls Battle Back But Fall to Stetson on Last-Minute Goal
9/19/2023 9:18:00 PM | Men's Soccer
DeLand, Fla. – Florida Atlantic men's soccer erased an early deficit but a last-minute goal from Stetson was ultimately the difference in a 4-3 defeat on Tuesday night.
Â
Stetson scored first in the 24th minute and doubled the lead 12 minutes after that. The Owls received a shot of life just before halftime though when a foul in the Hatters' penalty area led to a Tom Abrahamsson PK. The fifth-year senior converted the spot kick to send the visitors into intermission down 2-1.
Â
The Owls scored twice in the first 15 minutes of the second half to take a 3-2 lead. Noah Kvifte tied the game in the 50th minute off an assist from Moller-Jensen. Zach Hassell's first goal of the season in the 60th minute put the Owls on top for the first time.
Â
Stetson would have its own opportunity from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute and they would convert to tie it again. The Hatters would grab the go-ahead goal with just 1:06 left on the clock to steal a 4-3 final.
Â
Rotem Fadida finished with five saves in goal for the Owls. Stetson recorded 17 shot attempts compared to 15 for FAU (9-7 on goal in favor of the home side).
