Shelby Petik arrived to Florida Atlantic in August of 2024 following three seasons at the helm of Eastern Florida State College, where she most recently led the Titans to their best season in program history with 40 wins.

In her first season with Florida Atlantic, Petik oversaw the Owls' defense that finished second nationally in fielding percentage (.984). FAU won 45 games, its most since 2016, and achieved the American Athletic Conference regular season title for the second consecutive season on the way to its second straight NCAA Regionals appearance.

For their efforts, Petik and her fellow Owl coaches were named AAC Staff of the Year.

Petik achieved 85 victories in three seasons as head coach of EFSC. In addition to their 40 wins in 2024, the Titans also made their first NJCAA Region 8 Championship appearance for the first time in program history and recorded their first nationwide ranking, coming in as high as No. 13.

Under Petik’s watch at Eastern Florida State, her student-athletes were named All-Conference 20 times, 10 each on the first and second team. Two were named NFCA All-South Region honorees and one was a Gold Glove recipient at center field.

The Titans were number one in the nation in sacrifice hits and top 10 nationally in fielding percentage. The team ranked top five in Region-8 for 14 of 15 team offensive statistical categories.

During this time, Petik also served as head coach for Siesta Key Phinz of the Florida Gulf Coast League.

Previously, Petik was an assistant coach at Presbyterian College, her alma mater, from 2018 to 2021, during which she provided hitting and outfield instruction while also coordinating travel, scheduling, and social media. Petik also served as an assistant for Furman University in 2017.

Petik graduated from Presbyterian in 2015 with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology. During her time, as a student-athlete, broke the program’s Division I era career records for doubles, home runs, RBIs, total bases, walks and games played. She received her Masters of Science in Collegiate Athletic Administration from Coker University in 2017.
