BOCA RATON, FL -- Florida Atlantic University (2-2) will look to extend its two-game winning streak Monday night when it faces Gardner-Webb in its Atlantic Sun Conference Opener in Boiling Springs, NC. The Owls will face the Runnin' Bulldogs for only the second time ever in a 7:00pm tip-off at the Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center. The game can be heard live on WLVJ 1040-AM and www.fausports.com.

Crumbley needs 29 points to move into second place on FAU's all-time scoring list.
Gardner-Webb enters the game with a 2-5 record. Its last outing was an 89-59 loss at Colorado State on December 6. GWU's wins are against Elon (68-65) on November 18 and North Greenville (95-66) on December 2. Its other losses are against South Carolina, Clemson, Indiana State, and Kansas State. Brian Bender leads the team with 12.3 points per game. Simon Conn is averaging 10.1.
