Series: The Eagles lead 7-2 all time and won 2012's lone meeting against the Owls 6-5 at Swanson Stadium.
Projected Pitchers:
FGCU - RHP Zack Tillery 0-0, 9.00 ERA
FAU - LHP Brandon Rhodes 0-0, 2.45 ERA
Game Notes:
The Owls will look for their first top 25 win on the year when they play host to the #23 Eagles on Tuesday night.
Florida Gulf Coast swept #13 University of Florida last weekend (8-2, 8-3, 7-4) in resounding fashion.
Senior 1B Brooks Beisner is currently leading FGCU with an impressive .520 batting average, and has connected for 4HR and 11RBI.
FAU has four players hitting above .300 in SS Mitch Morales (.400, 10H), RF Corey Keller (.345, 10H), LF Geoff Jiminez (.333), and DH Levi Meyer (.313, 10H).
On the mound for the Owls, Brandon Rhodes (0-0, 2.45 ERA) tossed 5.1 innings in no-decision against #20 Miami last week. The freshman allowed two runs on just six hits and struck out four.
Collectively, Florida Atlantic's staff has 57 K's in 66 total innings.

Want to talk about strength of schedule?
FAU's last five games: #21 Miami, Alabama (receiving votes), #23 FGCU and then Costal Carolina on Friday (#6 in mid-major poll).
The Owls needed a win on Sunday, and got one.
A win over FGCU would be HUGE.
