The Big Green won their first three games before dropping the final two to the tournament's host Florida Gulf Coast University (19-4, 0-0 Atlantic Sun) in two high-scoring affairs. The key to the Big Green's success was coordinated offensive power, according to co-captain Ashley Gleason '09. "The entire lineup was batting well, and we helped each other out," she said.
