🔼 Strap ‘Em Up. FAU Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Zach Kittley put the Owls through their Tuesday morning paces, which included team and live periods.

It was the team's first opportunity for full contact this spring and the coaches' first opportunity to see the players at full speed.

The offense closed out the day strong with back-to-back scores from the red zone.

🔼 Battlin’ The Best. Among a loaded field in the desert, the FAU women’s golf team is holding steady entering today’s final round of the PING/ASU Invitational.

Junior Charlotte Perkins was the biggest mover on day two, jumping 20 spots on the leaderboard. Perkins and Nancy Cox are both in the top-30.

🔼 It’s Showtime. Today in Atlanta, the 2026 NCAA Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships get underway and FAU will be there.
