The midweek series will mark their third meeting against a Power 4 opponent, facing off with #9 Florida last week and set to take on #24 Miami in the coming weeks.
 
In Saturday's win, Andrew Ildefonso delivered the decisive blow, launching a three-run walk-off homer to secure FIU's seventh victory of the season and its third walk-off home run of the young 2026 campaign.
 
Offensively, FIU has shined as a team, totaling for 111 hits as a ballclub, which ranks third overall in Conference USA. The team has also drove in 103 runs, ranking 36th in the nation and second in CUSA.
 
Samuel Fischer has led the charge on offense, pacing the team with 17 hits (third in CUSA) and a .447 average with an OPS of 1.407.
