BOCA RATON, Fla. — Tulsa and Florida Atlantic University battled to a scoreless draw on Sunday night at FAU Soccer Stadium, with Tulsa's goalkeeper making seven saves to maintain the shutout. This impressive performance marked Carlito Saylon's seventh shutout of the season, which leads the American Conference.

The first half between Tulsa and Florida Atlantic began with early fouls from both teams, setting a physical tone. Tulsa's Alex Cunningham fired the first shot at 5:34, but it went wide. The Owls responded with several attempts, including a 14:45 shot by Francesco Aiello, which was saved by Tulsa's goalkeeper Carlito Saylon. Saylon made additional crucial saves, denying shots by Aboubacar Traore and Mamadou Diarra in quick succession at 36:18 and 36:24, respectively. Despite multiple offside calls against the Golden Hurricane and a saved attempt by Arnau Pedrola Fortuny at 37:35, the half ended scoreless.

The Golden Hurricane and the Owls remained locked in a scoreless battle throughout the second half. Florida Atlantic's offensive efforts were frequent, with shots from Ethan Schumaker and Sebastian Zettl early in the half, though neither resulted in a goal. Saylon was pivotal in keeping the score level, making key saves, including a notable one against Josh Ainge's attempt in the 59th minute. Saylon's seven saves in the game tied for his second-most saves in a game this season. Despite several fouls and a few yellow cards on both sides, including on Tulsa's Jake Reich and Will Applegate, neither team could break the deadlock by the end of regulation.

Tulsa holds a record of 4-8-4 overall and 3-3-2 in conference play. The Owls stand at 10-3-2 overall and 5-1-2 in conference competition.
