KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) Brandon Goodwin scored 18 points, Zach Johnson added 17 and Florida Gulf Coast defeated Kennesaw State 66-49 on Saturday for its seventh straight victory.

Brian Thomas' dunk and tip-in started a 10-2 run that gave the Eagles a 17-point lead with 10 minutes to go and they remained ahead by double figures.

Goodwin had a 3-pointer and layup to start a 20-6 run on the way to a 32-24 halftime lead.

The Eagles (14-8, 5-0) beat Kennesaw State for the 15th straight time and have started an Atlantic Sun season 5-0 for the first time since joining the league for the 2007-08 season. Their seven-game win streak ties for the second-best in the program's Division-I history behind a 10-game streak in 2014-15.

Nick Masterson and Tyler Hooker scored 11 points each for the Owls (5-15, 1-4), who have lost four of their past five games.
