Miners fall in a close game against FAU
UTEP Miners drop to (6-2, 3-1 C-USA) on the season after a loss on the road to Florida Atlantic University (5-3, 3-1 C-USA) in Boca Raton, Florida. The miners are (1-2) all-time against the Florida Atlantic Owls and have never won a game in Boca Raton. This is the first time the Miners and the Owls have met since 2016.
Only one game back from the front runners No.16 UTSA Roadrunners, this game gave the Miners the opportunity to tie the Roadrunners in conference play. The Miners fought hard to come back against the Owls but came up short in a game that ended with a final score of 25-28.
“We just didn’t score enough points to win the football game,” said UTEP Head Coach Dana Dimel.
