KEEPING IT CLEAN
The FIU offense has been strong in 2022 but the defense has been just as important to the team's success.
 
The Panthers have five wins on the books. In those wins they have given up only one goal and posted four shutouts. The lone goal allowed in a win came on the road against then No. 13 UNC.
 
When FIU's defense is on so is the offense, outscoring teams 9-1 in their wins this season, including a massive 3-0 win over then No. 10 Tulsa at FIU Soccer Stadium.
 
SCOUTING MEMPHIS
