St. Augustine — The South Florida Community College softball team opened the season by competing in the Triple Crown Tournament over the weekend. The Panthers went 1-4 in their five games losing on Friday to Coastal Georgia 5-2. On Saturday, SFCC split a pair of games, losing to Florida Community College of Jacksonville 8-0, but the Panthers bounced back to defeat St. Johns 2-1.

"We're not really looking at stats, because at this point, those numbers can be misleading," Falla said. "So we're basically doing a scorecard for each girl, grading them and seeing who's consistent. They get a grade for each day, and when we're done with the fall, we'll sit down and go through all those sheets." The Panthers were perfect pupils this past weekend, pulling off a sweep of the Sarasota Heat traveling team, 4-2 and 8-1. Freshman outfielder Cassidy Faircloth had two doubles on the afternoon, freshman infielder Megan Randolph added two more hits, and freshman Lora Helton and sophomore Kayla Finney each stole two bases on a windy afternoon at Panther Field to lead SFCC, which now boasts an 8-1 fall record. ...more
