WOMEN’S SOCCER Women seek to end season on strong note

SANTIAGO ARCHIERI Contributing Writer [email protected]

The FIU womens soccer team (8-10-0, 4-5 in Conference USA) travels to Charlotte on Friday, Oct. 30 to play in their final regular season matchup against the University of North Carolina at Charlotte 49ers (6-11-1, 2-6-1 C-USA). The Panthers are heading into the game on a bit of a cold stretch, having been unable to score in their last three games, going 0-3 and dropping them to the lower half of the C-USA table. After a strong start in conference play, the Panthers have gone 2-5 in their last seven games and are now in danger of dropping a fourth straight game. The 49ers, however, have not had a great season of their own. They have the third least amount of points in the C-USA standings and have only one win in their last eight games. This game will also mark the final game of the season for the 49ers. FIU has the chance to end the season at .500 in conference play, but they need a big time game in order to do that. Playing on the road has not been the Panthers’ strongest point this season, as they have a 1-7 record on games not played in Miami. In fact, they have not won on the road since early September, and currently has a five game road losing streak. Megan Tait/The Beacon If all things go right for the Panthers, they have a chance to skyrocket in the conference standings, with Defender Nikki Rios about to hit the ball at the game against Florida Atlantic University on Saturday, Oct. a possibility of being a top-five team in terms of total 25 at the FIU Soccer Stadium. points from conference games.
