The reported shot profile points to a frustrating attacking display rather than a lack of intent.
That contrast defined the contest. Tulsa tested Holden but could not turn accurate shooting into a breakthrough. Florida Atlantic, meanwhile, made its key opportunities count and protected its lead when the hosts pushed forward.
The report says Hathorne opened the scoring from the spot after Abi Dolding was booked. The timing left Tulsa chasing the game without an immediate attacking response.
Joachim reportedly doubled the advantage early in the second half, creating the match’s decisive moment. Tulsa then had a chance to reduce the deficit when Ady Bechtel stepped up for a penalty, but Holden made the save.
Markee later completed the scoring. The sequence underlined the difference between the sides: Florida Atlantic converted its penalty, while Tulsa’s best route back into the contest ended with another save.
The report lists Tulsa at 6-6-2 overall and 1-3-1 in conference play. Florida Atlantic is listed at 6-5-4, including a 4-2-0 conference record.
Those records give the defeat added weight. Tulsa’s ability to create attempts was not enough to prevent another conference setback, while Florida Atlantic strengthened its position through efficiency in both penalty areas.
Tulsa’s next reported fixture is against UTSA in San Antonio on October 15 at 19:00. The key storyline will be whether the team can carry its shot accuracy into that match and finally turn pressure into goals.
