Coming off a strong 5-0 start to the season, there was much anticipation regarding the Jackets’ softball squad as they headed into ACC action. Unfortunately, their ACC schedule began with three games against one of the nation’s top teams, #13 Florida State, which each resulted in losses. After their matchups against Florida State and Clemson, they found themselves sitting at 5-6 on the season and 0-6 in conference play.
The first of three consecutive games against Florida State was a complete reversal from what the Jackets were able to do in their non-conference games. In the first week they were able to score runs with ease as they totaled 44 through the first five games.
