Last Time Out:
FGCU is coming off a three-game road sweep of North Alabama last weekend in which they outscored the Lions 13-3. Sophomore Marissa Mesiemore collected all three wins over the weekend giving up no earned runs in 17.1 innings as she limited UNA batters' to a .164 average. Her overall week consisted of a 4-0 record in the circle (win against FAU Apr. 3) as she was named the A-SUN Pitcher of the Week for the first time Monday afternoon. The Bushnell native became the second Eagle pitcher to collect each win in a three-game A-SUN series since Jaclyn Owen in 2013 against Northern Kentucky.
Another sophomore in Farley Callaghan excelled at the plate over the weekend, hitting the game-winning home run Saturday in the 1-0 win. She followed it up Sunday with another homer as she capped off her day going 2-for-2 with two RBI.
FGCU's scheduled doubleheader at FIU this past Wednesday was cancelled due to field conditions and there will not be a makeup date.
