Kennesaw State (10-17, 6-6) pushed its own win streak to four games after starting the Atlantic Sun season 1-5.

Kyle Clarke responded with a fast-break layup for Kennesaw State and FGCU only scored one more point the rest of the way. The Owls made 3 of 4 from the line in the last 1.8 seconds.

Scott was 10 of 22 from the floor with five 3-pointers, Masterson was 9 of 13 with three 3s. Jordan Jones added 11 points and Tyler Hooker 10. Kennesaw State had not beaten FGCU in 15 games.

Goodwin led the Eagles (20-9, 11-1) with 28 points on 10 of 13 shooting, Christian Terrell added 23 on 10 of 12 shooting -- FGCU scored 56 points in the paint -- and Zach Johnson added 16 points.
