Game 1: FAU 1, Maryland 0
Lynn Gardner led the way for FAU with a complete game shutout against the Terps. The senior lefty struck out four on the day and did not walk any batters. Gardner scattered six hits across the seven innings.
- The lone run of the game came in the third inning. Sommer Baker led off with a triple to right center field
- Kaitlyn Cunningham worked a two-out walk a couple of batters later. Cunningham then stole second and the throw went through
- Cunningham slid in safely, and Baker scored easily to give the Owls the 1-0 lead
- FAU got out of a second-and-third jam in the second inning. With one out a grounder was hit to Baker, who came home to Olivia Peterson. The runner retreated, but the runner on second was going to third. Peterson threw to Myah Murray who made the tag, then Murray threw behind the other runner to Maya Amm who applied the tag
- Gardner escaped a bases-loaded jam with a backwards K in the fourth inning
- Baker went 1-1 with a walk, while Donnie Gobourne recorded the other hit for the Owls
- Gardner earned her first win of the year and now has a 1.44 ERA
- The Owls' bats struggled to generate offense against Missouri starter Jordan Weber. FAU registered just two hits on the ballgame, a deep double from Peterson and a bloop single from Sara Berthiaume
- Abigail Morgan got the start and received the loss. Morgan went four innings and allowed only two runs while striking out three
- Morgan escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third inning. The Tigers had the bases juiced with only one out, but Morgan got out of it unscathed with a strikeout and groundout
