and head East on Glades. When you see
the campus (it’s about a mile from I-95, a
few miles from the turnpike), take the 1st
entrance into campus (NW 10th
Ave / West
University Drive). You’ll be making a left
onto campus. Once on campus, follow
West University Drive and make a left on
Volusia Street (it’s the 2nd
traffic light). Go
straight on Volusia and make a right turn at
the first stop sign (just past “The Burrow”,
our basketball arena which is the big build-
ing to the right). You will come to another
stop sign, go straight, and the softball field
will be to your left.
