Panthers Host North Texas on Senior Night Thursday

MIAMI (October 27, 2016) -- FIU women's soccer will host senior day on Thursday night, honoring their three outgoing seniors after the Conference USA contest against North Texas at 7 p.m. at the FIU Soccer Stadium.
 
The Panthers will have a ceremony for Alyssa Robinson (Pembroke Pines, Florida / American Heritage), Pat Tomanon (Davie, Florida / Western) and Sophia Trujillo (Miami, Florida / Gulliver Prep) who will be finishing their careers in the coming weeks, depending on the outcome of these games. FIU is chasing a spot in the upcoming C-USA Tournament the following weekend.
 
An old foe from the Sun Belt Conference days, North Texas owns a 14-3-2 mark against FIU in the all-time series. The Panthers last defeated the Mean Green in October of 2014, with one of the two ties in the series taking place in 2012.
 
Following their 2-1 overtime win Sunday at UTSA, the Panthers are 3-9-3 overall and 2-4-2 in C-USA. Robinson scored both goals in the Sunday win and leads the Panthers with six goals on the season. Trujillo has a goals-against average of 1.73, on a steady decline since the start of conference play. Her conference GAA is 1.39 in eight games and she sits second in the league with 5.53 saves per contest.
 
North Texas is on top of the C-USA standings table with a 12-4-1 overall mark, tied for the league lead with seven conference victories. The Mean Green sport two players with at least seven goals, with Rachel Holden leading the team with eight goals and four assists for 20 points, sitting second in conference for points per game. Goalkeeper Brooke Bradley sits fourth in the league with an .898 GAA.
 
The Panthers will conclude the regular season at home against Old Dominion on Sunday in a make-up game from Hurricane Matthew earlier this month. First touch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
