In his first recruiting session since taking over as head coach of Florida Atlantic women’s basketball, Jim Jabir has reinforced his backcourt with shooters in his 2017 recruiting class.

The Owls have added guards Alexis Cowman, DaChe Williams, Myka Johnson Matthews, Fernanda Midaglia and Jamaria Williams along with forward Rhianna Laing. All six will look to make an impact in the upcoming 2017-2018 season.
