Game One
- Lynn Gardner took the loss but put forth a strong start in the circle. The senior right-hander went the distance to earn the complete game and allowed only one earned run and two total runs
- Gardner struck out seven, walked only two, and surrendered only four hits (only one extra base hit, a double)
- A Kendall Smith RBI double with two outs gave Louisville a 1-0 lead. That score held until the top of the seventh, when pinch hitter Rebecca Chung delivered a two-out RBI to give Louisville a 2-0 lead
- Sara Berthiaume tallied two hits during a 2-3 ballgame in game one. The Owls' bats were limited to just four hits, with one coming from Zoey Jones and one from Myah Murray
- The Cardinals hopped out to an early 5-0 lead in the first inning of game two. FAU battled back and countered with three runs of their own in the bottom frame of the first
- Gardner delivered the big blow with a three-run blast to left center field. Gardner connected with two outs and drove a no-doubter home run to trim the Cardinal deficit to 5-3
- The next FAU run came once again from Gardner's bat, as her two-out RBI single in the third pulled FAU to one run of Louisville
- The seesaw battle continued, and Louisivlle put one up in the top of the fourth, but another FAU hot hand had an answer. Berthiaume delivered with a bloop RBI single to once again cut the lead to one. The Owls' left fielder went an impressive 6-7 with two runs scored and an RBI on Opening Day
- The Cardinals blew the game open with one in the sixth and four in the seventh
- Berthiuame went 4-4 at the dish with an RBI and a pair of runs scored in game two
- Gardner recorded four RBIs and went 2-3 with the big fly
- Maya Amm went 1-3 with a run scored, while Riley Olson went 1-2 with an RBI coming off of the bench
The Owls will resume play in the FAU First-Pitch Classic tomorrow to face Indiana at 7 p.m.
