Daunting Schedule FAU Softball at Michelle Smith Pediatric Cancer Invitational

Feb. 14, 2018

BOCA RATON, Fla. - The Florida Atlantic University softball team will face its toughest tournament field of the season at this weekend’s Michelle Smith Pediatric Cancer Invitational in Clearwater. The Owls face Oakland and No. 19 Oklahoma State on Friday, and No. 10 Tennessee and UMass-Lowell on Saturday, before wrapping up against Missouri on Sunday.

Last Week: FAU went 4-2 during the season’s opening weekend, splitting a doubleheader with Duke on Thursday night, then defeating Michigan State and Bethune-Cookman on Friday night. The Owls lost to Ohio State in their only game on Saturday before rebounding to down Bethune-Cookman once again on Sunday.

 

History:  FAU will be meeting both Oakland and UMass-Lowell for the first time. Oklahoma State and the Owls have split their four previous all-time meetings. Tennessee leads the all-time series 3-2, but FAU has won two in a row over the Volunteers.  The Owls and Missouri have only played two times before, with the Tigers prevailing both times.

 

Coverage: Links to live stats of all five games will be available at fausports.com. In-game updates will be available on the team’s official Twitter account, @fauowlssoftball.

 

Upcoming: FAU returns home to host the 12th annual Strike Out Cancer Tournament, scheduled for Friday, Feb. 23 through Sunday, Feb. 25.
