FGCU MSOC @ FAU; UNF Preview

 The FGCU men's soccer team will travel across Alligator Alley Wednesday night for a showdown against FAU before starting A-SUN play at UNF Saturday night.

The Green and Blue:
FGCU returns to action after dropping a 4-1 decision to No. 13 UCF last Wednesday night. Ryan Medilah leads the Eagles in goals (three), and points (seven). Ivan Rosales has netted a pair of goals while Shak Adams (Antioch, Tenn./Cane Ridge HS) tallied his first goal of the season versus UCF to move him into sole possession for second place all-time on the FGCU record book.

In net, keeper Gustavo Vasconcelos (3-3-1) has started all seven contests, securing 31 saves (1.80 GAA), and one clean sheet.

Scouting the Owls:
FAU is 2-3-0 this season, most recently falling to No. 21 Kentucky on the road, 3-0. Ivan Mykhailenko leads the Owl's attack with two goals and one assist for five points. Andres Macias has dished out a team-best two assists. Daniel Ragoo and Haygay Jalon have split time in net as each have recorded a win.
