BOCA RATON, FL - The Florida Atlantic University softball team will begin their season by hosting the FAU Kick-Off Classic this weekend.
The Owls (42-23) will attempt to successfully defend their Sun Belt regular season and tournament titles.

The FAU Kick-Off Classic boasts a field of North Florida, South Carolina, UMass, Maryland and Michigan. Michigan is ranked No. 12 in the NFCA preseason poll and UMass and South Carolina both recived votes in the poll. All five teams return to Boca Raton after participating in tournaments last season.
