5/1/2025 11:08:00 AM | Softball
BOCA RATON, Fla. – The No. 24 Florida Atlantic softball team hits the road for its final three games of the 2025 regular season, taking on Tulsa from Friday, May 2, to Sunday, May 4.
The Owls (41-9, 20-4) need just one win over the Golden Hurricane (20-29, 8-16) in order to achieve their second consecutive American Athletic Conference regular season title as well as the No. 1 overall seed in the following week's AAC Tournament. A loss by second-place South Florida is also enough for the outright clinch.
Junior third baseman Jesiana Mora was named to the AAC Honorable Mention list for the second consecutive week after recording a cycle during the three-game series. She went 7-for-7 from the plate in the first two games and finished batting 8-for-10, while tying the individual program records in runs (five) on Friday and hits (four) on Saturday.
