Good Morning, FAU Family. FAU Athletics unveiled the Hagerty Family Athletics Village monument sign yesterday afternoon! The sign stands nearly 15-feet high and includes a double-sided LED digital display. It’s located at the corner of University Drive and Volusia Street at the main entrance to the Hagerty Family Athletics Village.

🧊 New guys
🦉 And much, much more

🔼 Game Time. Kickoff is set for FAU’s Homecoming Game against Tulsa on Saturday, Nov. 8. The game will get underway at 3 p.m. as the Owls celebrate Homecoming, Veterans Appreciation, and Varisty Owls weekend. The game will air on ESPN+.

🔼 Match Day. It’s time for a huge match for FAU men’s soccer! The squad is at USF today in a battle of two teams that are currently tied atop the American Conference standings. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. on ESPN+. With a win and a Charlotte loss, the Owls will clinch a share of the regular-season title and a first-round bye in the American Conference Tournament.

🔼 Did It Again. FAU men’s soccer’s Oliver Moller-Jensen picked up his second American Conference Honorable Mention of the season as the midfielder was directly involved in all three of FAU’s goals on Friday night. Moller-Jensen delivered the corner kick that resulted in Kerfalla Toure’s header, hit the cross that Fabian Wagner sent past the goalie, and capped it all off with a goal of his own. He leads the Owls with six assists this season.

🔼 Bye Week. With FAU football now on its second bye week of the season, the Owls are using the opportunity to focus on three goals: rest, recovery, and self-evaluation. Here’s why.

🔼 Inside The Owls’ Burrow. Are you ready for another installment of Inside the Owls’ Burrow? Episode 12 airs tomorrow at 10 a.m. and features Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Zach Kittley as he breaks down last week’s game against Navy and what the bye will look like for FAU. OL coach Stephen Hamby is featured on “Wired for Sound” while rush/ends coach Brandon Lacy sits down one-on-one with Frank Forte. TE Reid Mikeska and K Garrison Smith join the show to talk about hunting, fishing, and their passion for the great outdoors.

🔼 A New Season. A new edition of FAU women’s basketball is right around the corner, and season tickets are on sale now! FAU will also offer single-game ticket purchases and group ticket packages, including free tickets for groups of 15 or more! More details here.
