MIAMI (February 8, 2017) -- With the days ticking down to the start of the 2017 season. FIU softball is putting the final touches on preparations before hosting the 2017 Felsberg Invitational Tournament this weekend.
The Panthers are coming off a 29-27 season, finishing with a level 12-12 mark in Conference USA. The Panthers outscored opponents by 54 total runs, and outpaced opponents by 28 runs in the second innings of games last year, lending to many early leads in games. FIU graduated an outfielder, starting pitcher and catcher, but nine new players, including three with junior college experience, allow the Panthers to reload heading into the season.
