Paradise Brew 9/6: Wednesdays Are For The Owls
Today, the Owls are getting another invite to a non-conference tourney.
Good morning. If Kodak Black shouting out Florida Atlantic football and posting a locker room celebration video isn’t the best way to start your morning, we don’t know what is.
What all can you find in today’s Brew?
🏀 FAU earns spot in Barstool Invitational

🔼 Wednesdays Are For The Owls. FAU men's basketball has earned a spot in the second annual Barstool Sports Invitational, scheduled for Wednesday, November 8. The Owls will play in the event's opening game against Loyola Chicago with tip-off scheduled for 7:00pm ET.
The Barstool Sports Invitational is one of the many neutral site non-conference games the Owls will participate in during a packed 2023-2024 season—along with the ESPN Events Invitational at Disney World, the Jimmy V. Classic at Madison Square Garden, and the Hall of Fame Classic in Springfield, Illinois.
Coverage of the game will be found exclusively on Barstool.tv, hosted by Dave Portnoy, Dan "Big Cat" Katz, and other Barstool Sports personalities.
🔼 Onto The Next One. FAU women's soccer saw its two-game winning streak end this past weekend with a 2-1 defeat to UCF. The Owls are 2-2-2 ahead of an upcoming two-game homestand.
The Owls controlled the play early and narrowly missed notching the first goal when Olivia Bori hit the post with a shot in the 14th minute. Against the run of play however, UCF took the lead seven minutes later.
The Owls tied it in the 38th minute. Malaya Melancon maneuvered to the top of the Knights' penalty area, cut inside, and let rip with a right-footed strike which found the bottom left corner. Unfortunately her first goal as an Owl held up as the equalizer for less than a minute—UCF immediately responded to take the lead less than a minute later and FAU couldn’t find the back of the net the rest of the match.
Blythe Braun finished with three saves in goal for the Owls.

🤔 PARADISE TRIVIA
High five. Every facet of FAU football played well this weekend in the team’s 42-20 victory over Monmouth, but the air attack was especially good—totaling 280 yards on the day and five touchdowns.
Our question today—when is the last time an FAU quarterback threw five touchdowns in a single game?
