🔼 Signed! Returning to his native land, Saku Heiskanen has signed with IF Gnistan in Helsinki, Finland. The freshman had an outstanding season, being named the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year and earning Sun Belt All-Conference Second Team honors. Heiskanen made Knights history when he scored the fastest goal in UCF’s NCAA Tournament history in just 66 seconds.

🔼 Tune In. Come out to Mellow Mushroom tonight at 6 p.m. for our Knight Talk! Marc Daniels will talk to men’s basketball coach Johnny Dawkins and a featured guest athlete.

🔼 Spring Jitters. The men’s golf team began its second half of the season at the Sea Best Invitational. The Knights placed in 13th with a final of 891, +51.

🔼 Lost ‘em. The men’s basketball team faced No. 18 Baylor and lost 77-69. The Knights were ahead 38-32 in the first half but could not match what Baylor brought to the table in the second.

Get ready to experience the best chicken tenders in America with the Official Chicken Tenders of the UCF Knights!
