Washington softball to compete in Missouri regional

The Washington Huskies will start their journey to the Women’s College World Series in Missouri.

After being upset by the Arizona Wildcats in the Pac-12 Tournament, the chances of the Washington Huskies hosting an NCAA Regional became slim.

When the selections were announced on Sunday, the Huskies found out that they would have to travel to Columbia, Missouri to begin postseason play where the No. 7 seeded Missouri Tigers will host the Regional matchup.

Washington will compete with Missouri, Indiana, and Omaha for a spot in the Super Regionals. If coach Heather Tarr’s team were to advance, they would compete with the winner of the No. 10 Regional, hosted by the Duke Blue Devils.

First, the Huskies will open their quest to the Women’s College World Series on Friday against the Indiana Hoosiers in the first game of the Regional. A team needs 3 wins in the round before 2 losses to secure a spot in the Super Regionals, the entire schedule is listed below
