Florida Atlantic is coming off a weekend split on the road against Middle Tennessee after Sunday's rubber match was cancelled. WKU most recently claimed the three-game series against Marshall on The Hill. FAU moved into fourth in the league standings while the Hilltoppers climbed to sixth with the weekend results.

Common opponents between the weekend foes include LSU, UTEP, Charlotte, Marshall and previously mentioned MTSU. The Owls dropped a pair of contests to LSU and later went on to sweep UTEP marking the differences in results between the sides.

Not many record book pages need to be turned to find the most recent meeting between the C-USA East division foes. In the 2017 Conference USA Tournament, WKU – the eighth seed – faced No. 4-seeded Florida Atlantic in a single elimination contest, not to mention the Hilltoppers' second game of the day. Just over three hours after upsetting fifth seed UAB in a 12-7 12-inning decision, WKU continued its party wrecking tour and took down the Owls 6-5 in nine innings to earn a spot in the semifinals and end the Owls' season.

In the all-time series against Florida Atlantic, WKU trails 15-22. The Hilltoppers are 6-8 in games played in Boca Raton. Since joining C-USA, WKU is 4-7 against the Owls.

Following the crucial weekend series in the Sunshine State, WKU will return home for its final regular season midweek tilt and series as Lipscomb and FIU come to town. The weekend set will also serve as the Hilltoppers' Senior Weekend.
