🏀 Three straight
⚾ Season opened
🦉 And much, much more

🔼 Three Straight. Florida Atlantic women's basketball kept the momentum rolling with a 61-55 Play4Kay victory over Tulsa on Saturday at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, extending their win streak to three games — their longest conference run since 2020-21. Destyne Jackson caught fire with a season-high 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including a perfect 3-for-3 from downtown, adding five steals to fuel the Owls' transition game. Four Owls hit double figures — Jackson, Jess Moors (12), Erin Rodgers (11), and Vivian Onugha (10) — as FAU dominated in transition, outscoring Tulsa 18-3 in points off turnovers and 17-2 in fast-break points to improve to 12-13 overall and 6-7 in conference play.

🔼 Season Opened. FAU baseball is 1-2 after opening the season against Notre Dame this past weekend. The Owls took down the Fighting Irish on Friday night before dropping Sunday’s rubber match.

The Owls will be back on the field tomorrow night against Missouri at 6:30 p.m. in Boca Raton as their season-opening homestand continues.
