BOCA RATON, Fla. - Coming off its first NCAA Regional appearance since 2006, the Florida Atlantic University softball team has released its 2016 schedule. The Owls' schedule includes seven teams who made it to the NCAA tournament last year.
FAU will start the year with the FAU Kick-Off Classic, hosting Penn State University, SIU-Edwardsville, Wright State, Tulsa, and one of the teams the Owls eliminated in last year's Regional, Hofstra. The tournament runs from Friday, Feb. 12 through Sunday, Feb. 14, 2016.
The Owls will host their 10th annual Strike Out Cancer tournament on Friday, Feb. 19 and Saturday, Feb. 20, 2016, with Northern Illinois, UConn and Florida A&M rounding out the field.
