CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Florida Atlantic men's soccer (11-3-2) knocked off Tulsa (5-9-4) by a 3-0 final on Wednesday in the American Conference Semifinals. The Owls advance to Saturday's Championship, where they will face FIU.
Ethan Schumaker opened the scoring on Wednesday in the 37th minute. Schumaker's shot from distance took a deflection off the back of a Tulsa defender, sending the goalkeeper in the opposite direction. The Owls doubled the lead just four minutes later.
Oliver Moller-Jensen's shot from the top of the penalty area ricocheted off the post and in. The Owls went into halftime up 2-0.
The Owls dug in and stifled the Tulsa attack for much of the second half. The Golden Hurricane were held without a shot on target in the final 45 minutes.
Inside the final 10 minutes, it was Moller-Jensen who delivered the final blow. Played in on a breakaway by
Mamadou Diarra, Moller-Jensen calmly slotted home his second goal of the night to make it 3-0 and seal the Owls' place in the Championship.
