Texas State’s last two days at the Sun Belt tournament didn’t go according to plan, but the Bobcats are still going dancing.
The maroon and gold were defeated in the semifinal round of the conference tourney in Troy, Ala., on Friday by No. 1 seed Louisiana, 4-3. They were eliminated from the bracket altogether on Saturday by No. 4 seed South Alabama in eight innings, 4-3. But on Sunday, they were selected to the Austin Regional of the NCAA tournament, getting matched up with Oregon.
“Yeah, it's a great regional. When you put Texas, Oregon, St. Francis (PA) and us together, you have put a good group of teams together,” head coach Ricci Woodard said in a statement. “Every pitch is going to be a definite battle, in my opinion, so I think it'll be a great place to watch softball this weekend.”
