TULSA, Okla. (Interstat) — The Tulsa women’s basketball team looks to continue its push near the top of the American Athletic Conference standings when it hosts Florida Atlantic on Tuesday night at the Donald Reynolds Center. The Golden Hurricane (13-6) enter the matchup with momentum, having won four of their last five games, including a 57-53 road victory at North Texas last Friday. Forward Dora Toman keyed that win with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds, showcasing the consistency that has made her a player to watch. Tulsa’s balanced attack also features Jade Clack and Hannah Riddick, who each added 12 and 16 points, respectively, in the win. Florida Atlantic (9-11) arrives after a dramatic 64-63 home win over South Florida on Saturday, snapping a two-game skid. The Owls were led by a season-high 21 points from guard Jess Moors, who played 38 minutes. Moors has been a focal point for FAU, though her production has fluctuated; she scored just two points in a loss at Charlotte on Jan. 20 before her breakout performance. The game presents a contrast in trajectories. Tulsa has built its record on defense, holding opponents to an average of 58.2 points during its recent 4-1 stretch. Florida Atlantic, meanwhile, has struggled for consistency, alternating wins and losses over its past eight games and facing challenges on the road. This contest is the first of a regular-season series between the teams, who will meet again in Boca Raton on Feb. 14. For Tulsa, a win is crucial to keep pace in the conference race. For the Owls, building on the momentum of a close win and finding a way to contain Toman inside will be key to pulling an upset on the road. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST.
