RALEIGH, N.C. – Florida Atlantic men's soccer dropped a 2-0 road contest to No. 5 NC State on Saturday night. The Owls (4-2) hung tough with four shots in the first half, but the Wolfpack (5-0-1) jumped in front early in the second half and never looked back.
Â
After an evenly played opening 45 minutes, NC State scored off a corner kick in the 47th minute. They doubled the lead with a header from close range in the 76th minute.
Â
The Owls finished with 10 shot attempts, but only one found its way on target. The Wolfpack have not conceded a goal so far this season in six games. At the other end, Alfred Mikkelsen recorded six saves on eight NC State shots on goal.
Â
Florida Atlantic now looks ahead to the start of American Conference play on Sunday, September 21. The Owls will travel to Philadelphia for a meeting with Temple.
