Florida Atlantic softball swept all four games of the Strike Out Cancer Tournament this weekend and improved to 9-0 — the team’s best start in school history.

The Owls outscored their opponents 25-3 over the weekend, including two games that ended via the eight-run mercy rule. Northern Illinois was FAU’s first opponent for both Friday and Saturday’s doubleheader, which led to two defeats for the Huskies by a margin of 8-0 and 6-2 respectively.
