For the 17th straight year, Tennessee softball is set to host an NCAA Regional. The No. 11 seed Lady Vols head into the event with a 39-16 record and ranked anywhere from No. 11 to No. 13 depending on the service you go by that updated after conference championship weekend.

Karen Weekly’s team is coming off a 3-0 loss to the Missouri Tigers in last weekend’s SEC Tournament semifinals. They will host the the Campbell Lady Camels, who are 37-17 and just beat the Longwood Lancers to win their second straight Big South Championship under fourth-year head coach Sharonda McDonald-Kelley.

Joining those two teams in this Regional are the Ohio State Buckeyes, ranked as high as No. 25 depending on the updated service you go by, and the Oregon State Beavers.
