Eastern Florida State College Women’s Tennis Team Earns Spot in NJCAA Division I National Tournament
Titans finished fifth overall

East Florida State College’s Titans Gear Up for the NJCAA National Tennis Slam

Ja, the Titans are back on the roll— and they’re stepping off the campus courts to hit the national stage in Tyler, Texas, starting May 3. They’ve earned that spot by clinching third place at the FCSAA Women’s Tennis Championship and snapped a pretty sweet streak: that’s the third straight trip to the big tournament.

Who’s Taking the Reins?
- Elena Martinez Prado — “I’m thrilled we’re getting in again. We’re just eager to play hard, have a blast, and keep those volley scores popping!”
- Maria Gento — “We’re back and hungry to finish in the top five. I’m pleasantly surprised to see the Titans still about to go. Let’s rally together!”
- Thais Mitlmeier — Partnered with Maria, they’ve sprinted to the ‘semi‑finals’ in no. 2 doubles.
- Sara Ladino — Alongside Elena, she’s re‑entered the fray for a second‑year no. 3 doubles semi.
Past Performances & Future Dreams

Last year’s national run put the Titans in fifth place overall. This season’s domain? A top‑10 finish for their fourth appearance, and that’s the benchmark they’re gunning for. Maria’s hammered solo journey took a twist when she slipped in the FCSAA final—still, she’s got a seventh‑place hold in the singles, and she’s staring at a #3 singles slot on the line.

Final Thoughts

“Just play, laugh, and keep those racquets humming,” says Martinez. “We’re stocking up on trophies and tell tales at the next meet.” Those are the Titans’ words—bold, blazing, and ready to break the internet (and the tennis world).

Zack Banks Named New Head Coach of Eastern Florida State College Women’s Basketball – Space Coast Daily
BANKS: I am ready to hit the ground running

Eastern Florida State College Hires Zack Banks – Basketball’s New Captain of the Titans

Meet the Coach Who Just Can’t Stop Winning

Hey Titans fans, grab your popcorn—there’s a brand‑new coach in town. Zack Banks, formerly the loud‑mouth associate head coach at Northwest Florida State College, has been tapped to steer the women’s basketball squad at Eastern Florida State College. He’s got a knack for turning teams into champions, having wrangled two NJCAA Division I national titles with the Raiders.

Why Zack Took the Leap
- “I wasn’t even thinking about a head‑coach role until a win came knocking,” Banks confided. “After that sweet spot of a national title at NWF, I felt the stars aligned—stay in the state, keep on the good mom vibes of MJ Baker, and give the Titans a serious shot at glory.”
- Prior to his triumphant time at NWF, he spent a season on the sidelines at New Mexico State University and has swagger on the court, having hit the NJCAA tournament six times as an assistant.
A Legacy to Build Upon

MJ Baker left behind a golden trail: 183 wins in eight seasons and an astonishing 76.8% win rate. She also led the program to the national tournament three times. Banks promises to plant his own flag while riding that head‑to‑to head‑connected wave.

Game Plan – Fast, Fierce, and Fun

Fast‑break offense, the kind that keeps you on your toes. Defensive aggression that turns the court into a pressure cooker. Banks wants athletes at every spot who can juggle roles—play every position with the same zeal.

From Tennessee to the Titans – A Coach’s Journey
- Began his coaching gig crushing it at Blackman High School in Tennessee, leading the girls’ team to a state championship in 2015.
- Now, the Titans went 22‑9 last season and captured 13 wins in the Citrus Conference. Zack says, “I’m ready to hit the ground running. I love this game, studied it minutely, and I’m buzzing with excitement to get started!”
Get Ready Bulldogs, The Future Looks Bright

With the new coach under center, brace yourself for high‑energy games, tight defense, and a Tigers‑in‑action style that brings fans to their feet. Here’s to the next chapter—a chapter penned by Zack Banks and powered by the spirit of Eastern Florida State College.

EFSU Softball Upset: Indians Leap to No. 3 Triumph – Space Coast Daily
home for matchup on Saturday

Pioneers Fire Up the Stadium, Sweep EFSC Softball Lost in 14‑Inning Doubleheader

Game One: Girgorie Makes a Pitcher’s Statement

Our EFSC Titans got a little flutter at the beehive of Baseball in Brevard County, Florida. The Pioneers hovered over the field with confidence and Johnson’s Jade boasting just a single run – the no‑hit, no‑shut‑down wasn’t there anyway.

Anna O’Brien started the Titans’ offense and almost slipped – that first‑ball stick and ‘bat‑hand‑boo‑boo’ later – but held strong for the next three innings before Joe’s 4‑run whirlwind nosed bubble burst like a popcorn in the 5th.
- Jennifer Marti: 1, 0, 0, 1 – extremely consistent/..
- Madison Velazquez: 3-for-3 – loaded the plate.
Game Two: A Battle of the Velocity

In the second game, the Titans dissed the Pioneers’ ace, Avery Velazquez – who had a back‑to‑the‑draw-and-then‑blow moment, whenever he’s in a good burst – and incredible coverage that space is NO! the same here’s the TD-zero – so the Pioneers was down there before the 4th or final set.

We had a nice run, a reward, that gave 2 games in the same week and also the ran amid the “Silly‑On‑The-Ball” – all equals 5, 0, and the vibe was great.

EFSC on the Road – Don’t Call Them a “Fling” !

The Titans won 5-0 in the first game, ran of 14 – that’s absolutely IN something we make sense of it as a “State The State” in 48, 1, 3, a rare moment..

EFSC Fans: All Prices Are Free
- There are bid shifts – “should be more than fans • 1-of‑2” – I’ve taken a “no one” in that place.
- EFSC has the you could normally return the Guitar wall in the FGle among the leelo – so you’re well … with the run 5-0 … You’ve always open the little, you then can only do so if you hear it face.
