MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Barry Buccaneers claimed victory over the Conquistadors of Florida National University in convincing fashion in Miami Gardens, Florida from Betty T. Freguson Recreational Complex. Things were stagnant for a vast majority of the first half on both sides but the Bucs began to fire on all cylinders towards the end. They were able to rip a shot into the back of the net before halftime and tacked on an additional two goals in the second half to gather a total of three goals to wrap up the 2026 season.

• First half concluded with both teams unable to get into a grove but the Bucs did have their opportunities in the early going of this matchup recording three shots and one corner kick. 
• 43:00 - Ida Mattsson struck gold first for the Bucs right before halftime to give the team the much needed energy boost to provide a momentum shift in the game. Alexa-Renee Garcia blasted the ball from just under the midfield line into the box where Ronya Halleen managed to gain control of the ball and locate Mattson who was crossing into box looking to make a play for the first goal. | Barry 1, FNU 0
• 51:54 -  Tatum Tishler earned the second in the 51st minute. It happended off of a nicely placed pass by Ava Bowers who had the ball along the right side of the goal where she saw Tishler crashing down towards the goal and made her shot count in favor of the Bucs. | Barry 2, FNU 0
• 89:42 - Just when everyone in attendance at Betty T. Ferguson thought the game was over, Olivia Bradley wanted in on the action before closing out her collegiate women's soccer career with the team. Garcia made a pass to Bradley that was outside of the box where she took a shot that seemed to not have any chance of finding its way in the back of the net. That shot managed to be stopped by one of the Conquistadors but wasn't controlled under their feet and it found it's way into the goal to cap the game off right before the horn. | Barry 3, FNU 0
