Don't forget Softball as well! They already have wins over Arkansas, Georgia Tech, and Penn State. Lost by 1 to Kansas. Pretty impressive start.

Tulsa is actually ranked 22/24 in the national polls. So it was very impressive win.

It's still early in the season, but obvious that this year's squad is SOLID in the circle.
They have outscored opponents 35-3 over the last six games.

Once again, Florida Atlantic University’s softball team used late inning heroics to win, with a 6-5 victory over Maryland. The Owls improved to 9-1 on the season which is the best start for the Owls since 2002, a year that FAU started 8-2.
The Owls, who were perfect on the weekend (5-0) spotted Maryland two runs in the top of the first. FAU then scored three in the bottom of the third. FAU drew back-to-back one out walks and Carnesha Thompson drove in the duo with a single. The Owls then took advantage of errors to plate Thompson for the first go-ahead run of the game at 3-2.
Maryland responded in the top of the fourth to tie the game and went up by two in the top of the sixth. In the bottom half of that inning, Melissa Martinez hit a two-out double to left. She would score on a miss played ball deep to right hit by Laura Mann to pull FAU within one. The Owls would then score on a single by Tatum Buckley to tie the game.
Amanda Wilson relieved starter Kylee Hanson. Wilson pitched six innings, scattering six hits, three earned runs and retired three by strike out. Wilson held Maryland scoreless in the seventh. She allowed one hit and struck out one to pick up the win for the Owls.
In the bottom of the seventh, Lindsey Shell lead-off with a single up the middle. Shell moved to second via a sacrifice bunt. Thompson followed with a bunt single, but Maryland threw the ball away in an attempt to catch the speedy third baseman allowing Shell to score the game inning run.
The 9-1 start includes wins versus the Big 10 (4-0), SEC (1-0), the ACC (1-0), the American (1-0) and the Big East (1-0).
The Owls will return to action next weekend hosting the third tournament in as many weeks when they play host to FAU Invitational.
