FAU women’s basketball (2-3) kicked off their Thanksgiving Tournament in the Burrow at Abessinio Court with a 70-68 defeat against the University of Tulsa (5-0) Friday afternoon.

The Owls got off to a solid start in the first quarter, limiting Tulsa to just 11 points on 4-14 shooting. They locked down Tulsa’s starting players to being scoreless for that entire period.

Unfortunately for FAU, the second quarter completely shifted momentum to the Golden Hurricane’s favor.
