'I didn't even know if you were alive': Xavier's Felix Boe-Tangen and the road back from a scary injury

It was a moment Felix Boe-Tangen will never remember, but everyone else at the XU Soccer Complex on Sept. 14, 2019, will never forget.

Xavier University’s men’s soccer team, ranked No. 10 in the country at the time with a 3-0-1 record, was hosting Memphis under the lights on a Saturday night. There was a crowd of 1,248 in attendance.

In the 13th minute, the Musketeers had a free kick in Memphis’ end and Felix was one of five or six Xavier runners who rushed in to win the ball.

“One of our guys swung it into their box and it came right to me,” said Felix, who’s from Oslo, Norway.
