Storey, along with head coach John McCormack, spoke on Storey's career with the Owls and subsequent time with the Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays. Storey is now the manager of the Sugarland Space Cowboys -- the Astros' Triple-A affiliate. The event was organized by the Paradise Club and sponsored by Robes Law Group.

Amanda Linner moved up 10 spots on the leaderboard into a tie for 33rd after a final round 74. Linner finished strong with birdies on four of her last 12 holes.

🔼 Owls Taking Flight. Florida Atlantic's men's basketball team (18-4, 8-1 AAC) continues to climb the Associated Press Top 25, coming in at No. 20 in the latest Monday poll.
This marks the 15th consecutive week the Owls are ranked, the 10th longest active streak in the nation.
With seven straight victories, Florida Atlantic is tied with No. 2 Purdue for the second-longest win streak among teams in the Top 25. Only four teams currently in the rankings have more total victories this season than FAU (18). With 53 wins dating back to the beginning of the 2022-23 season, the Owls have the most in the nation over that time span, one more than No. 4 Houston.
In their one game over the previous week, Florida Atlantic picked up their largest conference win yet and reached the century mark for the third time of the season in a cruising 102-70 victory over Tulsa.
FAU returns to the road tomorrow, Feb. 8, taking on rival UAB (14-8, 6-3 AAC) for the second time this season.
