Florida Memorial took a four point lead midway through the second half, before FAU scored 21 unanswered points to kill any hopes of a Lions' victory.

The 94 points was a season high for the Owls as a team. Greg Gantt had a season-high 28 points and Kore White blocked a career best six shots on the evening.
