ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFKnights.com) - Fans can get a sneak peek at the 2017 UCF softball team as the Knights play eight games at the UCF Softball Complex this fall.
The Knights will also play the Black and Gold Games from Oct. 31- Nov. 2. The annual intrasquad scrimmage features a draft by the coaches which splits the teams evenly.
Last season UCF continued the tradition by winning every conference series. The Knights made their third straight NCAA appearance, advancing to the regional finals at the University of Florida.
The Knights return 11 players from last year's squad, including all-conference selections junior Courtney Rotton and sophomore Cassady Brewer. Rotton was named to the NFCA All-Region Third Team in 2016, while Brewer was named the American Rookie of the Year. UCF also brings back four seniors, including Linnea Goodman who tied the single season record with a 1.000 fielding percentage and led the team with 55 hits.
