WASHINGTON -- Sanchez Hughley had a double-double and four other Florida Atlantic players scored in double figures in an 81-69 win over American University on Saturday.


On an evening when they saluted last season's Patriot League championship with a pregame ceremony, the Eagles watched freshman Daniel Muñoz's floater miss at the buzzer and allow Albany to escape with a 51-50 victory before 1,929 at Bender Arena.
