Good Morning, Owl Family. A ninth inning rally by FAU baseball fell short on Tuesday in a 6-3 defeat at the hands of Tulane on day one of the AAC Tournament.

Trailing 6-1 entering the bottom of the ninth, the Owls rallied with two runs and had the game-winning run at the plate. Nick Romano (RBI single) and Dylan LaPointe (bases-loaded walk) were once again the run producers. But the comeback ultimately fell short as Tulane's Taylor Montiel struck out Ayden Garcia with the bases loaded to end the game.  

The Owls will play Rice in an elimination game at 1 p.m. today.

🔼 See You in the Swamp. Florida Atlantic football has announced that the Owls will travel to Gainesville on Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026, to face the University of Florida.

The meeting will be the fifth time that the two teams have squared off, each being played in "The Swamp". The first two were played under the direction of FAU's inaugural head coach Howard Schnellenberger. In 2007 the Owls' first championship season, FAU fell 59-20 to the then-defending National Championship team. Schnellenberger also led the Owls into Gainesville in 2011, the legendary coach's final season. A 2015 Charlie Partridge-led team would force the Gators into overtime, ultimately falling 20-14.

Their most recent meeting was in 2021 when a Willie Taggart-led team fell to UF by a score of 35-14.

🔼 Loud and Proud. We have to give one last shout-out to Owl Nation for the steadfast support of Owls Softball all season long!
