Scouting the Florida Atlantic Owls
• The Owls are led by senior Sasha Cedeño, who is averaging team bests of 19.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Cedeño, a 6-3 wing from Spring, Texas, did not play in FAU’s double-overtime games against Grand Canyon (77-73 loss, Dec. 1) or North Florida (83-75 win, Dec. 3), but returned off the bench in Friday night’s 82-50 win at Georgia State. She scored 20 points and grabbed 14 rebounds while adding three assists, three blocks and three steals.
• DaChé Williams, a 6-2 wing has averaged 3.8 points and 2.4 rebounds this season.
• Malia Kency, a 5-6 senior guard, is averaging 6.2 points and 4.7 assists while playing nearly 31 minutes per game this season. Kency has started 54 games in her career at FAU and has scored 590 points and dished out 199 assists.
• Tyana Robinson, a 5-9 redshirt freshman guard, is averaging 14.0 points per game, while tying Cedeño for the team lead with 17 three-pointers (3.4 per game). She is shooting 38.6 percent from long range and is a perfect 11-for-11 at the free throw line. She scored 17 points and hit five threes in the win at Georgia State Friday.
• Junior point guard Danneal Ford is a steady and consistent leader for the Owls. Ford has played 36.6 minutes per game. She is averaging 11.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and a team-best 4.4 assists per game. However, she is shooting just 30.2 percent (32-106) from the field, 19.2 percent (5-26) from three-point range and 65 percent (26-40) from the line.
• Inside, fifth-year senior Raven Doyle, a 6-2 forward, is averaging 8.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, while 6-2 junior forward Ra’Kyra Gabriel has pitched in 8.3 points and 7.4 boards per contest.
• As a team, FAU is shooting just 37.2 percent from the field, including 30.5 percent from three-point range on the year. The Owls have averaged 70.4 points per game while allowing 66.0 points per contest. They are plus-3.3 on the glass, but minus-0.5 in the turnover department. FAU has 57 steals and 16 blocked shots through eight games with 10 steals and eight blocks coming at Georgia State.
