The FAU Owls men’s basketball team got back on track Friday night in Boca Raton with a convincing home victory over the Holy Cross Crusaders 87-69.
The Owls’ dominant performance featured stellar guard play from graduate transfer Cornelius Taylor and junior Richardson Maitre, while sophomore Michael Forrest shot the lights out in the first half.
The game may prove an important turning point in the season for the Owls (3-3), as it marks the first time this year where they played two strong halves of basketball, something that eluded them in their three losses, including a loss last week to Florida Gulf Coast University 72-70 in overtime.
