NCAA Womans Softball Championship guide....

[MAGAking1]

We’re on the road to Oklahoma City as the 2023 NCAA Softball Tournament is set to begin this Friday, May 19 at campus sites all over the nation.
The tournament will get rolling with the Regional round, where the 64 qualifying programs have been divvied up into 16 regions hosted by the nation’s top teams. The four teams in each region will spend the weekend competing in a double elimination tournament to determine a champion for that particular region.
From there, the 16 regional champions will advance to to the Super Regional round beginning on Thursday, May 25. Here, region champions will be paired up and compete against each other in a best-of-three series played at the host site of the higher ranked team.
The eight remaining teams will advance to the Women’s College World Series beginning on Thursday, June 1 at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. The participants will compete in a double-elimination tournament until the final two teams standing play a best-of-three series to determine a national champion.
Two-time defending national champion Oklahoma enters the tournament with a 51-1 record and is attempting to pull off a three-peat in nearby Oklahoma City. Fellow powers like UCLA and Florida State are also threats to win the tournament.

The Super Regionals for the 2023 NCAA Softball Tournament will take place this weekend, with the action running from Thursday through Sunday. 16 teams remain standing in the field and the eight winners from this weekend’s series will officially punch their tickets to the 2023 Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, OK, next weekend.


There were a few stunners coming out of the Regional round this past weekend, most notably No. 2 UCLA being bounced out of its own corner of the bracket. The Bruins were swept 0-2 and didn’t even reach the region final, allowing for San Diego State to eventually emerge victorious. We also saw Louisiana make the short trek to the Baton Rouge Regional and take out No. 10 LSU in both games of the region final to advance.


If a Game 3 is needed, a coin flip will determine the home team and who gets last at-bat.
