Florida Atlantic Snaps Campbell's Women's Soccer A-Sun Winning Streak

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Campbell's Atlantic Sun Conference unbeaten streak was ended at 17 matches Thursday night, after a 2-0 loss to Florida Atlantic. With the loss the Camels fall to 6-5-0 (4-1-0 A-Sun), while the Owls remain unbeaten in conference play at 8-3-1 (4-0-1 A-Sun).
There were 707 days between the Oct. 29, 2003 loss to Gardner-Webb and the Camel's loss tonight. The streak ends five matches shy of tying for 14^th best in NCAA history.
Florida Atlantic took the lead just 30 seconds, in when Denise Brolly converted from the penalty spot, after Campbell's Ashley McMenamy brought down Alicia Tirelli inside the Camels' penalty area.
In the second half FAU scored again, when Monique Cabrera's shot struck the crossbar and went into the goal, to give FAU a 2-0 advantage at the 77:11 mark.
The Camels were unable to muster much offense and finished the game being out shot 22-1.
Campbell goalkeeper Samar Azem finished the match with eight saves bringing her total to 55 for the season.
The shutout loss also brings a close to defender Mary Nitz's five game point streak. Beginning with her two goal performance against Western Carolina, Nitz had tallied a point in each of the last five matches from her right back position. Nitz is the current A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week.
The Camels are off this weekend, as they prepare to travel to East Tennessee State on Thursday before returning home to host Kennesaw State on Oct. 15.
