The Florida Atlantic Owls (5-25, 1-17 C-USA) suffered a crushing defeat to the Florida International University (FIU) Panthers (15-15, 6-12 C-USA) after leading for most of the game in the preliminary round of the Conference USA Championship.

Tonight’s loss ties the mark for the worst record in program history set in the 2018-19 season with a 5-25 record.

Paced in scoring by redshirt senior guard Rita Pleskevich, who was named to the C-USA All-Academic team today, the Owls fell short in a game they once led by as many as 11 points.
