🔼 Top Ten. FAU women’s golf (+31) tied for 10th at this week’s Golfweek Fall Challenge which wrapped up yesterday afternoon. Lipscomb won the event at +9 while UNCW's Mallory Fobes earned medalist honors at -4.

Clemence Cadeac posted one-under, 70 on Tuesday to finish tied for 20th, finishing inside the Top 25 a total of 11 times in 12 career events. Amanda Linner balanced two birdies with two bogeys to sign for an even-par 71—her best round of the week.

📅 The Owls will have a week of practice before heading to the Mason Rudolph Championship hosted by Vanderbilt next Friday, September 22.

🔼 Final Countdown. FAU men's golf moved into sixth place at the Streamsong Invitational as they head into today’s final round. After a bogey-free 68, Max Sturdza is tied for third, four shots off the individual lead, and freshman NaShawn Tyson (-3) fired a three-under 70 that included four birdies and an eagle three at the par-five first hole.

🔼 A Matter Of Time. FAU football’s road matchup with Illinois next weekend in Champagne has got a start time! Kickoff will be at 3:30pm ET sharp and it’ll be shown on the B1G Network. This will be the first-ever matchup between the Owls and the Fighting Illini, so we suggest you set an alarm on your phone, get that yard work out of the way that morning, and settle in for a good ol’ fashioned late afternoon football game.
