Owls Set to Face Cougars on Tuesday

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The FAU softball team will take on SIUE on Tuesday, March 8. Game time is set for noon. The Owls enter at 10-13 on the season, while the Cougars stand at 6-9.

Clutch Kids Strike Again

FAU took a 2-0 win over Illinois State last time out this past Sunday. The victory was the sixth for the Owls by taking the lead in the sixth inning or later this season.

The game was scoreless through five and a half innings until Sara Berthiaume got the first run in with an RBI base hit through the left side. Myah Murray then drove in the insurance run with a base hit to center field. The two runs gave Lynn Gardner the win, who threw her third complete game shutout of the season.

Berthiaume Leading the Way at the Plate

Berthiaume is the Owls' leading hitter this season, hitting an even .400, which ranks her ninth among all players in Conference USA. The junior outfielder is riding a career-high nine game hitting streak and hit her first home run of the season against Purdue this past Friday.

Baker and Peterson Go Yard

In the defeat against Delaware, both Sommer Baker and Olivia Peterson hit their first career home run. In the seventh inning, Peterson went deep down the right field line, then Baker blasted a two-run shot two batters later. The Owls have now hit five home runs this season.

Conference Season is Up Next

The Owls will open Conference USA play this weekend with a home series against Louisiana Tech. The three-game set will begin Friday, March 11 at 6:00 p.m.
