The Rams finished as the runners-up in the tournament followed by Detroit and Georgia Southern.

Miller led the Owls with 16 points, her fourth-straight game reaching double-digit scoring. Brooks and Latavia Dempsey scored 15 and 11 points, respectively. Smith’s statistics were well-rounded as she posted ten points, five rebounds, five steals, three assists and a block.

Strong defense and a late scoring outburst propelled the Owls to a 82-69 double overtime victory over Central Florida on Friday night at FAU Arena.

Florida Atlantic began the season with a pair of losses, but has since notched sixth successful contests in a row - matching their longest win streak since the 2005-06 season, when they also concluded a six game stint behind a 80-61 victory against Lipscomb.

Going back 13 years, the squad has never surpassed that number.

With the Owls shooting just 27.8% from the floor in the first half, the Knights (7-2) enjoyed a 27-21 advantage at intermission.

However, FAU bettered their mark significantly in the second half, eventually pulling even with just :04 seconds remaining thanks to a lay-up from Takia Brooks, who had 18 points and seven rebounds for the evening.

With no clear winner in the first extra frame, Florida Atlantic (6-2) caught fire in the second by posting a 15-0 run that brought the game to a close. UCF landed the final basket of the night to no avail with :22 seconds left for the final tally. Collectively, the Owls shot 66.7% in overtime.

FAU forced 24 turnovers for the contest, which led to a 23-14 advantage in points from miscues.

Chenise Miller (15 points) was 7-of-11 from the floor, and Kimberly Smith rounded out the Owls' players in double-digits with 13. Both had six grabs as well.

The team will look to continue the streak against Abilene Christian on Friday, December 20th. Tip-off time is slated for 9:00 PM EST.

Florida Atlantic scored the final four points of the game from the free throw line Friday night as the Owls slipped past Abilene Christian with a 67-63 win in the Texas Tech World Vision Challenge.

The victory marks the seventh straight for the team.

FAU (7-2) pieced together a 10-0 run midway through the first half to jump out to the largest lead of the game at 22-11.

ACU would chip away at that lead to tie the game before Takia Brooks (10 pts, 4 assists) made free throws to put the Owls on top 37-35 at the break.

In the second period, Kimberly Smith buried three consecutive three-pointers and Shanequa Schrouder (11 pts, 9 rb) made free throws to give FAU a 50-39 advantage with 15 minutes to play.

But ACU (7-5) erased that lead as well with a 10-0 run of its own and would eventually take the lead themselves before a tying layup by FAU's Chenise Miller (16 pts, 8rb) with forty seconds to play.

Schrouder and Brooks then each made a pair of free throws to seal the game at 67-63 for the Owls,  who shot 19-of-26 at the line for the contest.

FAU will next face host Texas Tech on Saturday at 3:00 PM.
