The victory sets up a rematch with Rice, who defeated FAU 5-3 in the tournament opener.
Florida Atlantic baseball advanced to the semifinals of the Conference USA Tournament after defeating Old Dominion University 6-2 Friday afternoon in Biloxi, Mississippi.
The win for the Owls (35-20-1) sets up a rematch with sixth-seeded Rice University, who defeated FAU 5-3 in the conference opener two days ago. Rice is still undefeated in the tourney, defeating both Old Dominion (37-21) and FAU.
The win over the Monarchs never looked in doubt today after FAU took a 2-0 lead in the third via RBI singles from seniors Stephen Kerr and junior David Miranda.
