Expectations have never been higher for Florida Atlantic softball than they are heading into the 2016 season.

The Owls will begin this season as the favorites to win the Conference USA championship, as voted by the conference’s coaches. They received 141 of the poll’s 144 possible points.

“It makes me feel good, like we’re ready for the season to start,” said sophomore shortstop Emily Lochten.
