CHARLOTTE – The Florida Atlantic women's soccer team fell 3-1 to Charlotte in a Thursday evening road matchup.

The Owls (4-10-3, 1-5-2) faced the 49ers (8-5-2, 4-2-2) in the last stretch of the regular season on Thursday evening.

Florida Atlantic kept the same starting lineup tonight with sophomore Ashley Small in goal for the Owls.

Sophomore Hailey Santiago scored her sixth goal of the season from a bounce back save from the Charlotte goalkeeper, which gave Santiago another opportunity to contact the back of the net to put the Owls on the board. The 49ers then answered back with another goal to move the score 3-1 in favor of Charlotte. Small recorded another three saves in the second half to increase her total to 43 on the season.
