The Lady Toppers (6-9), (5-4, C-USA) hosted the Florida Atlantic Lady Owls (3-8), (1-6, C-USA) for their fifth Conference USA series of the season. WKU made a comeback after being down 21-3 at the end of the first quarter to take down the Lady Owls 71-64.

WKU extends its winning streak to three games ahead of its next game Saturday.

“They came out and they were swinging with both fists,” head coach Greg Collins said of FAU. “We didn’t match that intensity and it rocked us back on our heels. We had to match their style of play and then fix the turnovers.
