The next three weeks, the Green and Blue are on the road in the River City taking on Jacksonville (Mar. 27-28) followed by UNF (Apr. 2-3) to cap off Easter weekend. FGCU then heads up to Kennesaw State (Apr. 9-11) where it will take on KSU, Lipscomb, and ASUN newcomer Bellarmine.

“I’m excited that we are picking up where we left off last year with conference play,” said head coach David Deiros. “Year in and year out, the ASUN is one of the top softball conferences in the country as we had six teams last season in the top 70 of the RPI standings. We’re anxious to get back out there and just have some fun facing some live competition.”
