Box Score

BOCA RATON, Fla. - A balanced offensive attack propelled the Florida Atlantic University men's basketball team to a 92-75 win over Lynn in an exhibition on Friday night.

The Start
Both the Owls and Knights were able to get to the rim early and either score in the paint or draw fouls to go to the line. Lynn hit a pair of free throws to tie the score at 7, but FAU responded with seven points in a row to take a 14-7 lead. The Knights didn't go away and fought back to within one, 22-21 at the nine minute mark of the first half.

The Turning Point
The Owls scored eight straight points as part of a run that ended with them holding a 48-32 advantage late in the first half. At the intermission, the score was 51-36 in FAU's favor.

The Finish
The second half featured several highlight reel plays for the Owls, including dunks by Jailyn Ingram, Carrington McCaskill and Karlis Silins. The lead was at least a dozen for the entire stanza, as FAU was able to maintain a steady working margin against the Knights.

Quotable
FAU Forward Jailyn Ingram
"It felt really good to get back on the court. I thought I was just going to get out there and get a couple of sprints up and down and not make too much of a contribution because I didn't know how many minutes I was going to play, but it went the opposite way and I made a big contribution."
