Coming off a 7-8-1 season in 2019, the Florida Atlantic Owls (1-0-0) took down the North Florida Ospreys (0-1-0) in a 1-0 victory for its home opener at FAU Soccer Stadium Wednesday night.
Both teams started strong in the first few minutes of the game when FAU defender Fabrizio Cubeddu took a shot but was saved by UNF goalkeeper Carlos Melendez. Both teams took a foul and midfielder Kharym Florvil had another attempt at a shot that was saved once again by Melendez.
After a corner kick from UNF midfielder Robbie Soronellas, FAU defender Graeme Pratt passed it to defender Omer Priyov, who crossed the ball to the other side but was caught by Melendez.
