BOCA RATON, Fla. – The No. 22 Florida Atlantic softball team takes Joan Joyce Field on Wednesday, Feb. 26 to host UCF. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.

Game 1 – Florida Atlantic 11, LIU 8
Florida Atlantic's offense came alive with a four-run inning in the bottom of the fourth, adding two in the fifth and three in the sixth. Freshman pitcher Emma Grace Williams made her first career appearance and earned the win.
Game 2 – Florida Atlantic 8, Stetson 5
The Owls launched three home runs, starting with a grand slam from junior Chloe Yeatts in the top of the first. Freshman Destiny Johns also had her first career bomb.
Game 3 – Florida Atlantic 13, LIU 8
In their biggest comeback of the season, the Owls fell behind 7-0, and later 8-2, but came storming back with a historic offensive outing. The team broke its single-game program in home runs with five, led by Johns with two more, for eight in two games. FAU's 15 hits also marked the most in a game since 2021.
Game 4 – Florida Atlantic 4, Marist 3
Junior third baseman Jesiana Mora went 3-for-3 at the plate and scored two runs off two RBI from Yeatts. The Owls recorded two runs in the top of the fifth to take the lead and senior pitcher Ainsley Lambert pitched a scoreless seventh to record the save.
Game 5 – Florida Atlantic 5, Stetson 3
Down to their final out in the top of the seventh and trailing 3-1, three straight FAU batters singled their way on base, with one scoring. Yeatts then came up to bat and drilled the game-winning three run homer for the win.
