DENTON, Texas (February 11, 2017) -- Despite a better shooting mark, the FIU women's basketball team committed too many early turnovers and though they cut a 14-point lead down to three, the Panthers eventually suffered a 69-49 Conference USA road loss to North Texas at the Super Pit in Denton, Texas, Saturday.
The loss causes the Panthers record to slip to 5-18 on the season, 3-9 in Conference USA. North Texas is now 9-14, and a level 6-6 in league games.
FIU outshot its opponent from the field for the sixth time this season, but this was the second loss in that situation.
