Owls' Weekend in Review
FAU went 2-3 last weekend at The Spring Games, highlighted by a 1-0 win over Maryland and a 9-5 win over Monmouth. Against Maryland, Lynn Gardner led the efforts with a complete game shutout in the circle. The senior left-hander showed impeccable command, allowing no walks while striking out four.Â
The offense opened up against Monmouth with a season-high nine runs. That was the most for FAU since April 28 of last year in the 12-4 win over North Florida. Riley Ennis went 2-2 with two RBI, while Myah Murray and Holley Peluso each tallied two RBI.
Â
Owls' Weekend in Preview
- FAU has faced four out of the five teams in this weekend's tournament before, with the lone first-time matchup being LIU. FAU is 9-5 all time against Jacksonville, 0-9 against Kentucky, 3-0 against Columbia and 18-9 against Michigan State
- Sara Berthiaume is off to a hot start at the plate with a team-leading .375 batting average. The FAU left fielder has three multi-hit games this year, including a 4-4 game in the season opener against Louisville
- Gardner has been reliable in the circle, pitching to a 1.44 ERA, good for fifth in Conference USA. Gardner has tallied three complete games on the young season
- Olivia Peterson has shown an impressive arm behind the plate. The FAU catcher has thrown out seven attempted base-stealers this year which is leading Conference USA
- FAU has recorded four triples this season which tops the conference. Sommer Baker leads all C-USA players with two, while Maya Amm and Berthiuame have both legged out one three-bagger
The Road to 1,000
FAU is 12 wins away from getting head coach Joan Joyce to the 1,000 career win plateau. Joyce would become only the 27th coach in NCAA Division I history and the 43rd coach across all divisions to reach the 1,000-win milestone.Â
