MIAMI (February 18, 2017) -- FIU beat visiting Louisiana Tech in shooting percentage and three-point shooting, but an early deficit could not be overcome in a 76-63 home loss to the Lady Techsters Saturday afternoon in Conference USA women's basketball action on Lime Court at FIU Arena. The loss drops FIU to 5-20 on the season, 3-11 in C-USA. LA Tech is now 15-11, 10-5 in league play.
The game was the Play4Kay game, named for Hall of Fame and North Carolina State Coach Kay Yow, who famously fought cancer more than once while coaching her Wolfpack teams in Raleigh.
