BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic women's soccer team and FIU finished in a 1-1 draw in each team's opener Wednesday night. The Owls (0-0-1) and Panthers played in front of a crowd of 1,017 in the annual featured match on Howard Schnellenberger Field at Flagler Credit Union Stadium.
THE TURNING POINT
After nearly 75 minutes of scoreless play, Owls' freshman forward Maiya Castillo cashed in on a 1-on-1 breakaway to give the home team the lead. FIU was able to equalize on a header just under five minutes later.
THE FINISH
A penalty in the 86th minute gave FAU the opportunity to move back ahead, but Hailey Santiago's attempt was saved by the Panther goalkeeper. FIU had the final shot, with seconds remaining, but it was well above the goal frame.
