FAU’s women’s basketball team (3-7, 1-5 C-USA) failed to get their second conference win Saturday afternoon, as they lost 65-62 to the FIU Panthers (6-6, 3-3 C-USA).

Two players had good starts for the Owls in the first quarter. Redshirt junior forward Sofia Galeron and sophomore guard Allie Tylka scored six points each to help FAU get the lead early in the game.

FAU was unable to keep senior guard Kyla Nelson in check early in the game, as she scored eight points to keep the deficit close for the Panthers.
