The Lady Owls (7-10-2) had lost just once in their last eight games coming into their semifinals match up with the best team in the Sun Belt Conference, Denver University.
FAU ended their regular season with a scoreless tie against rival FIU in Boca. The Owls haven't lost to the Panthers since 2000.
FAU, the tournaments #5 seed, played Middle Tennesse State, the tournaments #4 seed, in the first round, defeating them in overtime 2-1.
That lead them to play Denver (18-2-2). With a win FAU would have played for the conference championship.
The Lady Owls were down 4-0 in the second half, when sophomore Laura Hyvonen answered with two goals in a span of five minutes.
FAU, who was 1-8 at one point in the season, couldn't muster up another miracle comeback.
A hard fought battle ended a hard fought season, and the girls should keep their heads held high.
