Allie Tylka had a breakout performance with a career-high 19 points.
The FAU women’s basketball team opened its season Monday night with a hard-fought 93-81 win against the North Florida Ospreys. FAU looked like the better team most of the way, but UNF made things dicey in the game’s late stages.
Sophomore guard Allie Tylka led the way for the Owls with 19 points, setting a career mark for the Wauconda, Illinois native. She was tenacious at both ends of the floor and nailed three triples. However, no one achieves anything alone, and in the game’s waning moments, it was a quintessential team effort that won the day for FAU.
