In a back-and-forth second half, it was freshman Preston Kilwien who provided the most dramatic moment of the evening as he delivered a left-footed shot from 35 yards out into the upper-corner of the net in the 89th minute to give the FGCU men's soccer team (1-1-1) a 3-2 victory over Princeton (1-1-0), snapping the Tigers' nation-best 10-game unbeaten streak Thursday. Kilwien (Pleasant Hill, Calif./College Park HS/Campolindo HS) – who was making his collegiate debut – received a ball from senior Rodrigo Saravia (Guatemala City, Guatemala/College Internacional Montessori) up the left side of the pitch. From there, with only 75 seconds remaining in regulation, he ripped a shot which was struck perfectly into the upper-90 of the left corner of the frame. For his effort, Kilwien's shot was the No. 3 play on SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays Thursday night. The victory was the first for FGCU this year.
