The matchup is set. The Texas Longhorns will face the Tennessee Lady Volunteers in college softball’s NCAA Tournament Super Regionals beginning on Friday.
The pairing pits Texas against the No. 4 team in the country in the head-to-head showdown we anticipated when the tournament bracket was announced. Both the Lady Vols and Longhorns completed 3-0 sweeps in their respective regionals. Now they clash with a trip to Oklahoma City on the line.
While Texas reached the championship series last season, Tennessee advances past the first round of games for the first time in three years. Undoubtedly the squad will be hungry to advance further, but the remaining players from last year’s Texas squad will have a say in how far they advance.
The series will begin Friday at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN2 in Knoxville with an afternoon game set for the following day. The teams will follow Friday’s 1 p.m. CT matchup between the No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners and the Clemson Tigers.
