In the first half, FGCU shot a program-best, 71.4 percent (20-25), against any Division-I opponent to open itself up for a 27-point lead at the half.
FGCU redshirt freshman Zach Johnson led the floor with 17 points, followed by redshirt junior Marc-Eddy Norelia with 16 and redshirt senior Filip Cvjeticanin, who knocked down four 3-pointers.
