FAU (3-1, 3-1 C-USA) defeated Western Kentucky (2-6, 1-3 C-USA) 10-6 on Saturday night in what was a defensive slugfest in poor weather conditions with Tropical Storm Eta bearing down on South Florida.
Neither team scored a point until FAU kicker Vladimir Rivas kicked a 40-yard field goal with 8:51 remaining in the third quarter.
“We knew going in it was going to be very windy,” head coach Willie Taggart said. “We had to be smart about what we tried to ask our guys to do and it was what we thought it would be.
