Summer Softball -- THURSDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Zabala and Thatcher to Play in FGCL

Alyssa Zabala

NCAA Softball may be just about over for the 2024 season now that we are one game through the national championship series, but summer ball is just getting started. The Florida Gulf Coast League is back for another season and Louisville players Alyssa Zabala and Katie Thatcher will be playing for the Manatee Impact.

The number of teams and summer schedule has not been released yet. Last year, there were approximately 20-22 games for each team played between a handful of teams. All games were played in the Bradenton area. 

Zabala just finished her sophomore season for the Cards. In her second year, the Miami, Florida native took over the role as the ace. She led the team in appearances, wins, and strikeouts. She also ranked highly both in the conference and nationally in wins.


Katie Thatcher


Thatcher recently finished her freshman season at Louisville. Hailing from Rock Falls, Illinois, she played more of a reserve role for much of the season, often filling in as a pinch hitter. Her second career home run was a walk off against ranked Duke. Late in the season, Thatcher began filling in as an outfielder.

We do not have any information on streaming games, but you can check out the Florida Gulf Coast League website here...(when it is updated)... with the 2024 information.


Happy Thursday and Go Cards!
