FAU softball team ready for regional matchup against South Alabama
The Florida Atlantic University softball is headed to its first regional in eight years.
The Owls will play in Gainesville against South Alabama on Friday at 2:30 p.m.
The team notched 41 wins this season and took home the regular season conference title.
This will be their first regional berth since 2016.
“I knew that this team had unlimited potential, and to do it in the second year is bittersweet,” head coach Jordan Clark said. “It’s a testament to our staff, to our support staff, just really believing in the vision that I had when I took the job.”
But the job isn’t done yet.
“Our problem at the end of the season is that we were looking too far ahead, so this time we are just looking at that one game,” Presley Leebrick, a graduate senior right fielder, said. “Not trying to make it any bigger than it is. It’s just the same game that we have been playing all year.”
This is the softball team’s 12th regional appearance.
“I think it’s great. The effort that we’ve had since the fall, all throughout the entire year,” Kiley Channel, a freshman infielder, said. “It’s just rewarding knowing that all of us have put so much work in to get to where we are today.”
The players said they are satisfied with a regional berth and are hoping to make for a super regional appearance.
“Taking it one game at a time. I think throughout the year our defense and offense have been solid,” Kamryn Jackson, a graduate student outfielder, said. “If we just play our game, I think we will be in good shape.”
The winner of the FAU-South Alabama game will play the winner of the University of Florida-Florida Gulf Coast match up in the double-elimination tournament.

West Alabama’s largest hospital starting shuttle service while new parking deck is constructed
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WBRC) – DCH Regional Medical Center will begin providing its own shuttle service Wednesday after using money donated to the DCH Foundation to pay for the two shuttles, affectionately called “shuttle bugs.”
One of the new shuttles is red and black while the other is yellow and black. They’re wrapped to resemble a lady bug and a bumble bee, thus the nickname shuttle bugs.
Each shuttle can carry as many as six people.
“We have the guest service team staffing the shuttles,” said Mallary Myers, Senior Vice President and COO for DCH. “They’re driving around, actively available to pick up patients, visitors, and team members.”
Parking at the DCH campus has been disrupted during the construction of a new parking deck.
The shuttles will serve people who must park in parking lots farther away from the hospital’s entrances due to the construction.
“I love the shuttle service because I wear high heels and it saved me today because I was parked way in the far end,” Ottia Phillips said.
Shuttles will run routes to all parking lots on the Regional Medical Center campus.
Drop off locations include the north and south entrances of the hospital, the Outpatient Center lobby entrance, and the Manderson Cancer Center.
