Well, we are basically halfway through the ACC softball season and there’s beginning to be separation at the top of each division.

In the Atlantic, Florida State (37-4, 9-2 ACC) split a pair of games with Louisville (24-13, 5-6) with the rubber game Monday night on ESPNU. The Cards gave Megan King (19-2) only her 2nd loss of the year with a 2-0 win, while the Noles bounced back to win the second game 4-1.

Notre Dame (24-12, 7-5) moved into second place with a sweep of Boston College (11-0, 9-3, 7-2), while Syracuse (16-20, 6-6) won 2 out of 3 from NC State by 5-3, 2-7, and 5-3 scores.

In the Coastal Division, the Hokies (33-5, 13-2) swept Duke 3-0, 6-0, and 2-1 while giving up no earned runs. North Carolina (22-13, 11-4) stayed two games behind by sweeping the Wahoos by three identical 8-0 run-rule margins.

Next week, the division leading games have FSU traveling to UNC while the Hokies will host UVA.
