On Sunday night, the Florida Atlantic Owls women’s soccer team (2-2-2) fell short to the University of Central Florida Knights (3-2), 2-1.
Both teams exchanged possession until the 20-minute mark when the Knights rallied ahead with a 1-0 lead. The goal came from UCF fifth-year forward Ellie Moreno finding the bottom right of the net.
The Knights remained in control for the rest of the half until the Owls junior forward Malaya Melancon tied the game with just eight minutes until halftime.
Despite the Owls’ efforts to keep it 1-1 going into the half, the Knights’ Moreno responded with her second goal of the night just 50 seconds after the Owls’ goal.
