MATCHUP PREVIEW
FIU's last match was a battle that came down to overtime, where the Panthers fell by a 0-1 margin to the UNF Ospreys. Lipscomb has started its season 3-0 for the first-time since becoming a Division 1 program in. The Bisons are coming off a 2-0 victory against crosstown foe Miami (Fla.), which marks Lipscomb's first-ever win against an ACC opponent. FIU's match on Sunday will mark the first-time the Blue & Gold has ever faced Lipscomb.
