The Aztecs put the Liberty Flames out of the tournament with their 6-3 victory on Sunday in the Los Angles regionals. This is the first time in program history San Diego State has made it to Super Regionals. They will take on No. 15 seeded Utah in a best-of-three tournament and the victor will advance to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.
“San Diego State went 3-0 in the NCAA’s toughest regional (RPI average of 32.00), outscoring the opposition, 19-3. The Aztecs also improved to 6-0 in the postseason, also winning all three games at the Mountain West Tournament from May 11-13 at SDSU Softball Stadium,” as per the Aztecs’ press release.
The Flames had five consecutive hits to start the game, but the Aztecs hit their stride and outperformed Liberty University 10-2, to walk away with the win. San Diego State players Cali Decker, AJ Murphy and Jeweliana Perez all scored home runs in the game which cemented the Aztecs’ win.
