BOCA RATON, FL - Thanks to a series sweep of Florida International and winning eight of their last nine conference games, the Florida Atlantic University softball team has been crowned the Sun Belt Conference's regular-season champion.
FAU needed help heading into the final weekend, needing South Alabama to take two from Troy and Louisiana-Monroe to take a game from Louisiana-Lafayette, and both of those things happened along with the Owls' sweep of the Golden Panthers to give FAU the crown and the no. 1 seed in next week's SBC Championship Tournament.
The Owls earn the regular-season title in their first year as a member of the Sun Belt Conference. The program has earned nine Atlantic Sun postseason championships in the last 10 years, and has made seven NCAA Regional appearances since 1999.
Florida Atlantic will face Florida International in the opening round of the SBC Tournament, scheduled to begin on Wednesday. The Owls will face the Golden Panthers in the opening round, with the first pitch scheduled for 4 p.m., eastern. Middle Tennessee hosts the eight-team, four-day double-elimination tournament, which runs May 9-13.
Live video web streaming and live stats for the entire tournament will be available through the SBC website (www.sunbeltsports.org). You can also get live audio play-by-play for all FAU games through Owls All-Access at FAUsports.com.
The Owls will wrap up the regular season with a non-conference game agianst Stetson on Monday at 2 p.m.
