🔼 Not to Be Outdone By MBB. Florida Atlantic women's basketball opened up its 2024-25 home season on Saturday, earning a double-figure win, 58-48, against the Mercer Bears inside Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena. The win snapped a five-game skid for the Owls against the Mercer Bears.

Mya Perry led the Owls offensively with a team-leading 18 points, while Erin Rodgers also finished in double-figures with 11 points. Rodgers led Florida Atlantic defensively, collecting a game-high and career-best eight rebounds and five steals.

🔼 From A to Z. From RB Zuberi Mobley 👇🏼

“Just like that, a knee injury during the third game of last year’s season took me out for the rest of the fall. It was a setback I never anticipated. Football has always been something my dad and I bonded over as he introduced me to the sport. He taught me never to give up and always have consistency. I thought of this as I pushed through therapy and recovery from my knee injury to prepare for this season. 

“My teammates continue to motivate me and support me like family. I am eager to be back on the field with these guys and to see what this year holds.”

🔼 We Meet Again. The Florida Atlantic men's and women's diving teams wrapped up competition at the South Florida Diving Invitational. The two-day meet concluded with two event victories for the Owls and multiple top-three finishes.
