Notes
Owls
FAU will travel to Fort Myers to close a four-game season series against Florida Gulf Coast. This fourth game, the second at FGCU, was originally scheduled for earlier this March before poor weather conditions caused it's postponement.
Last weekend, the Owls started conference play with a four-game sweep over Marshall. The sweep saw the Owls outscore the Thundering Herd 35-11 in the series, as FAU batted .319 as a team with 12 extra-base hits, including five home runs.
Eagles
FGCU also kickstarted their conference play last weekend, but lost their series to Stetson two games to one.
A trio of Eagles bat at .365 or higher this season, with Richie Garcia pacing the team with his .372 average. He is second on the squad with 18 RBI, trailing Joe Kinker with 21.
