FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern softball team (20-21, 5-13 SSC) will take on the Florida Southern Mocs (13-25, 4-11) in a weekend series, beginning Friday, April 12, at 7 p.m. and concluding with doubleheader Saturday, starting at 1 p.m.

The Sharks enter the weekend on their hottest stretch of the season, winning the last seven games dating back to March 27. In their most recent series against Lynn, NSU swept the Fighting Knights in a three-game series, outscoring their opponent, 18-8.
