The Florida Atlantic softball team lost to Lousiana 8-0 in five innings in the championship game of the Sun Belt tournament on Saturday.

It was the second trip to the Sun Belt Championship game in three years. The Owls (34-25) lost to ULL 8-3 in the finals of the Sun Belt Tournament in 2009.

The Ragin’ Cajuns (49-9) scored in the first inning when a FAU fielding error allowed the run to score. ULL hit three homeruns on the day which scored six of the eight runs. Rose Gressley and Ashlyn Parmerter had hits for the Owls in the game.

FAU has never had a losing season in its 17 years of softball, recording a .500 record only once. Senior pitcher Rose Gressley and junior second baseman Heather Barnes were both named to the Sun Belt All-Tournament team.
