Florida Atlantic’s women’s basketball team looked to notch its third consecutive win against the third place team in Conference USA, Middle Tennessee, on the road Thursday night.

Middle Tennessee (20-8, 14-3 C-USA) came into Thursday’s matchup only losing once in its last 10 games and was fresh off a 79-73 victory over Marshall.

The Owls’ (13-15, 5-12 C-USA) winning streak came to an end Thursday night following a 71-65 loss.
