CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Fresh off its fourth shutout victory of the season Friday night, the University of Miami soccer team will return to the Cobb Stadium field Sunday when it faces Florida Atlantic at 1 p.m.

Sunday’s match will tie the Owls with UCF for the most commonly played non-ACC opponent in Miami program history. The Hurricanes are 7-6-0 all-time against Florida Atlantic and the sides have met in all but five of Miami’s years as a team.

Miami brings a 4-1-0 record into Sunday’s affair, tied for its third-best start through five matches. This is the second time the Hurricanes have logged four shutouts in their first five contests, joining the 2008 season.
