Both teams shot a combined 32 percent from the field.
After forcing the Miners into a contested 3-pointer, Florida Atlantic Women’s Basketball got the ball back with five seconds left on the clock with a chance to win the game. The ball was inbounded to junior Nika Zyryanova, who then found junior Sasha Cedeno in the corner with a pass.
Cedeno’s potential game-winning three pointer went in and out before bouncing on the rim twice, but unfortunately did not fall at the end, giving the Owls (4-12, 0-5 Conference USA) their fifth straight loss to start conference play 51-50 to the University of Texas-El Paso Saturday night in Boca Raton.
