In the NCAA Tournament, FIU men’s soccer advanced to face Duke

With a goal in the 12th round of a dramatic penalty shootout, FIU senior Carlos Scheckermann gave the No. 10 seed FIU men’s soccer team a stunning victory against New Hampshire in the NCAA second round on Sunday night in Miami. The shootout, which included a phase where each side scored for eight rounds in a row, was won by the Panthers 10-9.

 

The NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship game’s 19 total shootout goals were the most since Michigan and Notre Dame combined for 21 in 2018. For the first time since 2003, the Panthers will now meet No. 7 seeded Duke in the Round of 16 of the NCAA Championship on Sunday, November 27 at 1 p.m. ET at Koskinen Stadium in Durham, North Carolina. The Panthers have now reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament three times, the most recent being in 2013.
