The sides will meet again in Orlando on March 19. OWLS IN REVIEW The Owls swept Towson over the weekend, outscoring the Tigers by a combined score 29-3 across three games. The Tigers scored first in all three games but struggled to generate offense with lights-out pitching performances from FAU starters C.J. Williams, Trey Beard, and Tyler Murphy. The Owls bullpen also locked things down with 10 relievers combining for 11 shutout innings. WHO’S HOT Christian Adams was named to the AAC Weekly Honor Roll on Monday after an 8-for-14 series including a home run, four RBI, and seven runs scored. Brando Leroux has at least one hit in all six games so far this season. He leads the Owls with 10 RBI and a .417 average. THE OPPONENT UCF comes into Tuesday’s matchup at 5-0 with wins over Bryant, Miami (Fla.), and most recently, Samford, whom they swept in three games over the weekend. Junior catcher Andrew Sundean leads the Knights with a .524 average and eight runs scored. Fellow junior Andrew Estrella’s 12 RBI are a team high. Head coach Rich Wallace is in his first season at the helm for UCF. OPPONENT HISTORY The Owls have won the last three against UCF, including a sweep of the season series in 2023. A win on Tuesday would match FAU’s longest winning streak against the Knights since winning four straight in 2003-04. UPCOMING The eight-game homestand continues Wednesday when North Florida visits for another 6:30 p.m. first pitch.
