As 2016 winds down to a close, it has been an up and down year for FAU sports. The Owls had teams vary from national champions to the worst in Conference USA and everything in between.
Arriving at the Conference USA championship game with high hopes, Florida Atlantic (6-3-1 in Conference USA) fell short against Charlotte (5-4-1 in conference) with a 4-0 loss.
Finishing out its season with a 0-1 overtime loss against Rice University, Florida Atlantic (6-3-1 in Conference USA) now prepares to face off against Louisiana Tech (6-4-0 Conference USA) in the first round of the 2016 Conference USA Tournament on Wednesday, Nov. 2 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Women’s soccer continued their winning streak with two wins this weekend, beating the UAB Blazers and the Florida International Golden Panthers. Their streak, which now sits at six games, is the team’s longest ever in Conference USA play.
