🔼 Double The Fun. The doubles pairing of Mark Havlicek and Marek Pazdera checks in at No. 88 in the latest ITA rankings with a 9-5 dual record, helping lead FAU to two straight wins heading into the American Conference Tournament stretch. The duo first cracked the rankings at No. 82 back on Feb. 19. The Owls close out the home slate on Sunday, April 5 at 11 a.m. against Charlotte.

🔼 Mac’s Musings. This week's episode of Mac’s Musings features the crew swapping travel tales from their Houston trip, testing each other on whether wild baseball names are real or made up, and diving headfirst into early-season MLB overreactions after the first weekend of action.

🔼 Honor Roll. FAU Athletics has named football's Deshaun Batiste and softball's Destiny Johns its SafeGuard Impact Student-Athletes of the Month for March. Batiste, a senior defensive end, landed on the Dean's List in his very first semester as an Owl and is set to graduate this fall with a degree in professional studies, plus he's lined up a summer internship with the Broward Sheriff's Office. Johns carried a 3.92 GPA and has all A's this spring while she’s on pace to finish her accounting degree a full year ahead of schedule, having been a fixture on both the President's and Dean's lists since arriving in fall 2024.
