Aggie Softball Headed to Norman For Regional

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M softball team begins its postseason run at the NCAA Norman Regional hosted by No. 11 seed Oklahoma May 14-17, the NCAA softball selection committee announced Sunday. The Aggies will join Oklahoma, Central Arkansas and Lehigh at the four-team regional.

Texas A&M (38-18, 12-12 SEC) earned a bid for their 14th-straight and 26th-overall NCAA Tournament appearance. The Aggies will face Lehigh (39-7, 16-2 Patriot) in the first game of the regional on Friday.

The Division I softball championship sets a field of 64 teams. Thirty conferences were awarded automatic qualification, and the remaining 34 slots were filled with at-large selections to complete the bracket. The top 16 teams were seeded nationally. Team pairings were determined by geographical proximity, with the exception that teams from the same conference were not paired during regional competition, when possible.

The regional winners advance to super regional competition for a best-of-three series May 21-24 at eight campus sites. The remaining eight teams advance to the WCWS, an eight-team, double-elimination tournament. The championship final will be a best-of-three-series. The WCWS will be conducted May 28-June 3 at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City.
