BOCA RATON, FL - It was a crazy weekend for the members of the FAU athletic department. For me, it started on Thursday night with the men's basketball game against Middle Tennessee. Although it was a loss, the team was once again in a position to compete.
Friday meant it was time for softball season to start and like always, Coach Joan Joyce wants to test her squad against stiff competition. It paid off with a win over nationally ranked Louisville on Friday night.
The men's basketball game against UAB was on the menu on Saturday, along with a side trip to pick up Pablo Bertone's ball for scoring his 1,000 career point. I was running around basically right until tipoff, it is one of the few drawbacks of juggling basketball and softball during the month of February. However, the win over UAB made the effort all worth it.
On Sunday, it was time to return to the FAU Softball Stadium for the final day of the FAU Kick-Off Classic. It was a thrill to watch the Owls beat Ohio State despite a healthy contingent of Buckeye fans.
I walked through my front door on Sunday afternoon completely exhausted but glad that I had to opportunity to do what I love. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
