Wright State at Florida Atlantic

BOCA RATON, Fla. (Interstat) — The Florida Atlantic Owls look to build on a narrow victory when they host the Wright State Raiders in a nonconference women’s basketball game Friday.

The Owls (3-3) are coming off a 76-71 home win over Air Force on Thursday. Wright State (4-3) arrives in South Florida after a 80-66 road loss to Ohio on Monday.

Both teams have shown offensive flashes this season. The Raiders average 78.1 points per game, highlighted by a 122-point outburst against Wilberforce. They are led by guards Rylee Sagester, who scored 18 points in the loss to Ohio, and Claire Henson, who added 15 points.

Florida Atlantic’s schedule has featured tougher competition, including a 79-47 loss to Miami and a 59-51 defeat to in-state rival Florida. Their season-opening 69-68 win at Kennesaw State shows their capability in close games.

This matchup begins a challenging two-game Florida trip for the Raiders, who will face Air Force in a neutral-site game in Boca Raton on Saturday. The Owls hit the road for their next contest at Western Kentucky on Dec. 3.

Tip-off is set for Friday at FAU Gymnasium.
