The Braves were looking to bounce back after yesterday's loss to Stephen F. Austin and found themselves in a close game against FIU.

The Braves started the game off slow, only shooting 4 of 15 from the floor in the first quarter, also going 0-7 from behind the arc. FIU shot 41% in the first quarter and found themselves heading into the second with a 17-9 lead. Things changed in the second quarter as Bradley outscored (23-12) and out-rebounded (11-6) FIU in the second quarter, giving them a 32-29 lead going into halftime. Caroline Waite and Daija Powell led the Braves in the first half, scoring 10 and nine.
