When the 2021 season began, Florida SouthWestern was the preseason #1 team in the nation. The season has progressed as anticipated with the Buc’s having a superb season and despite a slow start at the plate, Taylor Jensen’s batting average is now well above .400.

Unfortunately for Jensen and her teammates, COVID-19 shut down the later part of the season as it was a season in which the Bucs were primed to make a deep run into the playoffs.

When asked about the Buc’s pitching staff, Jensen said, “Each pitcher brings something different to the table. Every single one of them is amazing. They work so hard every day to get better. It’s just fun to watch them grow as players.”

Florida SouthWestern State College has their eye on one thing – a national championship. It would be their first one in softball, and it is a distinct possibility, especially with players like Jensen wearing the purple and aqua.
