Last Time Out
Two goals late in the second half earned FIU three points in the Conference USA standings, as the Panthers defeated the Florida Atlantic Owls, 2-0, on Wednesday night. Senior Roberto Alterio and redshirt freshman Darren Rios scored the two FIU goals.
 
The Panthers controlled the majority of the game, tallying 14 shots while allowing just three to the Owls. Corner kicks were limited on both sides, as FIU had a total of three, while FAU got just one, which happened late in the contest. In a very physical match, there were 32 total fouls and eight cautions.
 
1984 National Championship Team to be Honored at Halftime
FIU will honor the 1984 national championship team at halftime of Sunday's game. Members of that squad will be on hand to celebrate the 30th anniversary of FIU's second ever national championship.
 
Albrecht One Point Shy of Cracking Top 10
Albrecht enters Sunday's contest with 64 career points in an FIU uniform, which ranks him 11th in program history. With one more point, Albrecht will be a top 10 scorer in program history. Albrecht is also eighth in program history in goals scored with 27.
