Florida Atlantic women’s basketball used a collective team effort to win its season opener 84-64 over Florida Memorial on Friday night in Boca Raton.

The Owls (1-0) jumped out to an early 8-0 advantage and carried a seven-point lead into the half. Although Florida Memorial pulled within five points on several occasions and played an even second quarter, FAU never surrendered the lead and used the third quarter to extend it to 18 points.
