Owls Ranked No. 5 in AAC Preseason Coaches' Poll

BOCA RATON, Fla. - As their first softball season in the American Athletic Conference approaches, the Owls were ranked No. 5 in the AAC Coaches' Poll announced by the league office on Tuesday morning.

The Florida Atlantic softball team will begin a new era this season as they enter a new conference. FAU was one of the six members who entered The American this year. Head coach Jordan Clark will enter her second season at FAU and first season in the AAC. Her first year saw the Owls win 35 games, their most since 2017, and went 15-9 in conference play.

Returning players for Florida Atlantic include junior pitcher Gabby Sacco, coming off a season in which she won 2023 C-USA Pitcher of the Year, as well as sophomore third baseman Jesiana Mora who finished on the 2023 Conference USA All-Tournament team.

The Owls will begin their season with 19 consecutive home games, beginning with a doubleheader on Thursday, Jan. 8 against Marshall and Arkansas as part of the Paradise Classic. AAC play will open with a three-game series against Wichita State from Mar. 8 - 10, with the Florida Atlantic's first home AAC matchup will take place from Mar. 15 - 17 against UAB.

Quote From Coach Clark

"We are excited about this first season moving into the American Conference. We have 15 new faces on the roster and big opportunities for this group. It's not about where you start in the rankings it's where you end. We are ready for the challenge ahead of us!"
