The FAU Women’s basketball team took care of business Thursday night as they stifled the FIU Panthers 54-42.
This was the second time these two teams have faced off this season with the Owls also taking the victory in their Feb. 8 meeting.
In the first start of her career, freshman guard Tanyia Gordon dropped a career-high 26 points to go along with five rebounds and two steals. In the first quarter, Gordon came out the gate firing as she finished the quarter with 11 of the Owls’ 19 points.
FAU’s defense proved to be the real problem for FIU though as the Panthers turned the ball over nine times in the quarter including a span of seven turnovers in four minutes.
