The Owls seventh conference victory comes just hours after they emerged in the AP Top 25 for the first time in school history.
Their historic winning streak moved to sixteen games, as the #24 FAU Owls (17-1, 7-0 C-USA) defeated the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers (WKU) (11-7, 3-4 C-USA) Monday night at E.A. Diddle Arena in Bowling Green, Ky.
“We’re very pleased with our guys’ response in the second half,” said head coach Dusty May. “They tightened up defensively and made everything difficult for Western Kentucky. The rebounding advantage was probably as important as anything, which is a testament to our guys’ scrappiness and toughness.
