Utah Valley to Face Top-Seeded Oregon in NCAA Regional
Utah Valley, which won the WAC Softball Tournament as the No. 4 seed, will represent the conference in the NCAA Championship as the Wolverines will travel to Eugene, Ore., for the Eugene Regional.

Utah Valley (18-40) will face No. 1 overall seed Oregon (49-7-1) this Friday, May 16. Albany (33-11) will face Wisconsin (34-18) on the other side of the bracket in the double elimination regional.

The Wolverines are led by WAC Tournament MVP Josi Summers, who went 3-0 with a save and held opponents to a .135 batting average over 21.2 innings in four tournament games. She finished the tournament with a 1.62 ERA and 10 strikeouts.

Oregon is led by Courtney Ceo, who boasts a .481 batting average as one of eight Ducks that hit .300 or better. Pitcher Cheridan Hawkins is 30-4 with a 1.56 ERA. She holds opponents to a .169 batting average on the year.

Wolverine softball is the first team sport in Utah Valley's Division I history to reach the NCAA postseason and the first to claim the WAC's automatic postseason bid since joining the league last summer.
