Behind 10 total hits and three HRs, the Owls earned a 10-2 midweek victory over FIU in the first of two meetings this season with the Panthers.

Leading the way offensively was redshirt junior Kylie Hammonds, who launched two HRs into the night sky in the victory.

In the circle, senior Autumn Courtney was solid, earning the victory by allowing just two runs over 6.2 innings of work, while striking out seven.
