BOCA RATON, FL - Rose Gressley went 3-for-3 with 2 RBI and allowed just three hits in FAU's 3-2 win over Louisiana-Monroe on Sunday. The victory game FAU their first conference series win of the season.

Gressley gave the Owls (22-25, 5-10 Sun Belt) the lead in the first inning when she laced a double to left center that drove in Ambar Jones and Amy Bukovich to give FAU a 2-1 lead. Jones drove in Blair Bodenmiller for what proved to be the game winning-run in the second inning.
