Rebels finish 3-1 in Friends of Jaclyn Tournament to open 2019 season

After a weekend of dominant performances in the circle, the Ole Miss softball team is off to a good start.

The Ole Miss softball team began the 2019 season with the Friends of Jaclyn Tournament inOrlando, Florida, this past weekend. The Rebels finished the tournament 3-1 despite the absence of their head coach.

Mike Smith was suspended this past Wednesday for “not meeting the university’s expectations for operating the program,” according to a statement released by the university. Associate head coach Ruben Felix was tabbed to lead the team in Smith’s absence, which will end this week with Smith’s return.
