Player to watch: Outfielder Madison Simon. When the Knights needed her most, Simon delivered in the box. The transfer from Oregon State hit a walk-off RBI in UCF's matchup against then-No. 15 Missouri to help the program secure its first win against a ranked opponent after being down by five runs. Simon was a standout at OSU, leading the team in runs (21) and walks (20), so this performance shouldn't have been a surprise.
Stat to know: The Knight's pitching staff boasts a 1.23 ERA in 40 innings pitched, which is good for second-best in the Big 12.
