Miami out shot FAU 29 to six, including 15 shots on goal but only connected once. “We scored a great goal and did exactly what we wanted to do offensively, but we just didn’t finish,” said head coach Tricia Taliaferro.

The duo has combined to score two of Miami’s four total goals so far this season. Butcher and Andrea Radice led the Hurricane offense with six shots apiece.
