FGCU MSOC vs JU Preview

The FGCU men's soccer team (4-6-2, 1-0-1 A-SUN) looks to gain ground in the A-SUN standings as the Eagles host Jacksonville (4-3-2, 0-2-1 A-SUN) Saturday night at the FGCU Soccer Complex.

In honor of cancer awareness night Saturday's contest will be a pink out. The FGCU Marketing staff will be selling "Together We Are Stronger Than Cancer" t-shirts for $15. All proceeds will go towards the American Cancer Society.

The Green and Blue:
FGCU is coming off a 3-2 double overtime loss to #15 FIU Tuesday night. O'Vonte Mullings and Jahan Rajaee netted both scores for the Eagles as Ivan Rosales tallied both assists. Mullings leads the Eagles' attack with 10 points scoring four goals along with a pair of helpers. Including Mullings, six different Eagles have registered at least two assists.
