Key matchups
A win Saturday would make Kelly the first non-interim Division I-era KSU women's coach to start 3-0. The series favors FAU 6-2 after a last-second Owls-on-Owls finish in Kennesaw last Nov. 8. Florida Atlantic opened its season with a 75-48 loss at Miami and was picked eighth in the American Athletic Conference preseason poll.
Several current Owls have Sunshine State ties, including Emaya Lewis (who began her career at FAU), Arissa Jenkins, Riley Talbert and Flowers (Florida Gulf Coast). Kelly previously coached at Florida Southern.
