Fifth-year goalkeeper Neil Strauber made six saves against SMU’s offense.
FAU men’s soccer (4-8-3, 3-3-2 AAC) took down the nationally-ranked Southern Methodist University Mustangs (9-4-1, 5-3-0 AAC) 2-1 to get a needed win in conference play on Friday night.
After 15 minutes of solid defense, FAU got things started with the first goal of the game. Senior midfielder Blake Dean passed the ball to senior defender Tom Abrahamsson, as he provided a solid cross for freshman midfielder Sebastian Zettl to fire the ball into the net.
