Braves Tame Owls 80-59 For FAU Tourney Title

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Sophomore Gabi Haack hit seven three-pointers and scored a career-best 32 points to go with 11 rebounds as she helped Bradley Women's Basketball to an 80-59 win at Florida Atlantic Saturday afternoon in the championship game of the FAU Thanksgiving Tournament.

The victory gave the Braves (4-0 overall) their first in-season tournament title since 2008-09 along with the first 4-0 start to a season in nearly two decades. The last time Bradley opened a season with four consecutive victories came in 2001-02 when BU went a perfect 9-0 in non-conference action.
