The Lady Toppers had watched substantial leads shrink to close possessions in previous games, but that wasn’t the case against Florida Atlantic.
WKU never gave up the lead, had a 22-point advantage at halftime and squelched any chance the Owls had of rallying in the second half.
The Lady Toppers are now 25-8 in conference openers and 4-1 to open league play under coach Michelle Clark-Heard.
“I’m very pleased,” Heard said. “We came out in the third period talking about making sure that we can come out of the locker room because the past couple of games, we didn’t play as well.
