The Golden Panthers fall to 2-8 on the year and 0-4 in Sun Belt play while the Pioneers improve to 8-2-1 and 4-0-0 in league play.
Junior goalkeeper Madeline Gannon (Ft. Myers, Fla.) made a career-high 15 saves for FIU, including one on a Jessica Keller penalty kick in the 51st minute. It was the second missed spot kick in as many chances for an FIU opponent this season. Gannon's previous career-high was 10 saves against Mount St. Mary's (Md.) just two weeks ago.
