Paradise Brew 4/24: A Legendary Career

Plus: It's time for Bark in the Park!

April 24, 2026

Good Morning, FAU Fam.

What else do we have mixed into today’s Brew? Check it out below!

🥎 A legendary career
⛳ Strong finish
🦉 And much, much more

🔼 A Legendary Career. Senior third baseman Jesiana Mora is one of the most decorated players in FAU softball history, and now she’s featured on the latest "Inside The Owls Burrow," reflecting on her four-year career and what she means to the program.

🔼 On Deck. Florida Atlantic softball heads to Memphis for its final road series of the season, with games tonight at 7 p.m. ET, Saturday at 3 p.m. ET, and Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN+. The Owls have never lost to Memphis, including sweeps in each of the last two seasons. FAU comes in just one game out of fourth in the American standings, a spot that would earn a first-round bye in the conference championship. Autumn Courtney leads the pitching staff with 15 wins and a 2.43 ERA, while Jesiana Mora tops the offense at .404 with 32 RBI.

🔼 Strong Finish. Florida Atlantic women's golf tied for fourth at the American Conference Championship, the fourth top-four conference finish under head coach Heather Young. Sophomore Maddie Rathjen was the individual standout, rallying with birdies on 12 and 17 in the final round to finish T5 in the 50-player field, a career best. Charlotte Perkins and Nancy Cox each finished T18.

If a Florida Atlantic baseball player hits a grand slam in the 4th inning during one of the selected home games, one lucky fan will win $15,000 toward the lease or purchase of a brand new car from Phil Smith Acura or Phil Smith Kia.

Florida Atlantic Owls fans! Enter the 7th Inning Stretch Sweepstakes presented by Nozzle Nolen for a chance to win big at the ballpark! Four (4) lucky winners will receive four (4) baseball tickets to one of FAU’s Saturday home games (April 25 or May 16), a $50 Owls Gear bookstore gift card, be introduced in-game as the Sweepstakes winner, and take center stage to lead the crowd in Take Me Out to the Ball Game during the 7th inning stretch.
