- Freshman Sebastian Frings is wasting no time making a name for
himself on FIU men's soccer team. Frings lifted the Golden Panthers to a
4-2 victory on Sunday afternoon against Howard by netting two goals,
including the game-winner.
Though Howard outshot
FIU, 15-8, the Golden Panthers made the most of their opportunities.
Steven Cabas helped set up Frings' first goal, which boosted his scoring
streak to four consecutive games.
Cabas then put in one
of his own roughly 14 minutes into the second half off an assist from
Nicolas Chase.
The Bison cut the lead
to 2-1 when Lemuel Lyons took a direct shot from the left side of the box
with more than 15 minutes remaining. Frings gave the Golden Panthers some
breathing room when he scored from the left side with 8:20 remaining in
the game.
Howard attacked again
with less than five minutes to go when Matt Marshall's header hit the
right post fell in for the score. However, the Golden Panthers got the
last word when
Diego Tamburus dribbled around his defender and drew out the goalie
for his first score of the season with 1:30 remaining.
FIU heads out of town
on Friday when it travels to Akron, Ohio, to face Saint Louis at 2:30 p.m.
for the first match of a three-game road trip.
