GAINESVILLE, FL – Jen Musillo threw another solid outing as Florida Atlantic University
fell to the University of South Florida on Saturday afternoon 1-0 in the second
round of the NCAA Softball Regional at Florida Softball Stadium in Gainesville.
Musillo (12-8), making consecutive starts on back-to-back days for the first time
this season, allowed the game’s only run on a Christie Chapman home run to lead
off the fourth. She struck out five and did not walk a batter while allowing three
hits.
Shauna Corso had two hits in the game - a double in the first
and a single in the fourth. Florida Atlantic had runners reach second base in
the first, third and fourth innings but could not capitalize on the threats.
Florida Atlantic (34-24) is back in action Saturday evening against the winner
of the North Carolina-Florida elimination game, scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
