Paradise Brew 9/27: Trey Bien

Today, we're celebrating one of our own helping to notch a victory on Monday Night Football.

Happy Wednesday. And an extra Happy Wednesday to Nolan Schanuel extending his on-base streak to 27 games earlier this week—the fourth-longest streak in MLB history. We can’t even submit expense reports on time 27 times in a row, and the former Owl is hitting major league pitches each and every night for the Los Angeles Angels.

What else are we hitting into today’s Brew?

🔼 Trey Bien. Today, we're celebrating one of our own helping to notch a victory on Monday Night Football. When two teams combine for just 35 points in a game, you know defense was important and every play matters—which is why Trey Hendrickson’s game-high two sacks (our favorite of which you can watch here) were instrumental in helping the Cincinnati Bengals win 19-16 over the Los Angeles Rams, their first victory of the season.

Jodi Smith led the Owl backline to two shutouts in victories over Temple and FIU last week, with the FAU defense only allowed five shots on goal over the two matches. Morgan McDonald scored the game-winning goal in the 22nd minute of the Owls’ 2-0 victory over Temple last Thursday, the first AAC win in program history.

⚽️ FAU women’s returns home to resume conference play against UAB tomorrow. Kickoff is at 7:00pm ET.

🔼 Blew It Out Of The Water. FAU men's swimming and diving team has joined a new conference, but the success has remained the same—the Owls have swept the weekly swimmer and diver of the week awards after their first meet as a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Peyton Ming has been named the ASUN Swimmer of the Week and Brandon Shepherd has been named Diver of the Week.

🤔 PARADISE TRIVIA

Right around the corner. FAU men’s basketball has just a little over a month before they tip off non-conference play in the Barstool Invitational, so we thought today’s trivia question should be about season openers.

In the last 10 years, how many opening games do you think the Owls have won?

🦉 ONE BIG THING

“These are the moments that as a coach you struggle because you know how close you were.”

FAU football head coach Tom Herman reflected on his team’s start to the season, how the squad is doing going into the bye, and how he feels this team matches up against AAC competition moving forward.
