A strong series-opening game was hindered by consecutive losses over the weekend, as Marshall softball (14-16-1, 5-3-1 C-USA) dropped two of three games on the road at fellow Conference USA foe Florida Atlantic (19-16, 7-2 C-USA).
“We worked hard to battle back after falling behind early,” head coach Jen Steele said. “It came down to who could execute more and, unfortunately, we didn’t come out on the right side today.”
In the first day of play, a Saturday doubleheader, the Herd and the Owls split the two games. Marshall took game one 4-0, and FAU won game two 10-3.
