Road to the WCWS: College softball super regional keys

Date:

Sixteen college softball teams remain after a thrilling regional weekend, and only eight of them will advance to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City next week.

Of the remaining teams, 13 of them earned a national seed, including No. 1 Oklahoma, which dominated the regionals to extend its winning streak to 46 games — one shy of tying Arizona (1996-97) for the Division I record.

Three teams are unseeded: Oregon, which is seeking its first WCWS appearance since coach Mike White left in 2018; Louisiana, which upset No. 10 seed LSU and is looking for its first WCWS berth since 2014; and San Diego State, which is in its first super regional in program history.

What will be the key for each remaining team to earn a trip to Oklahoma City? We break down each super regional and identify the X factors that will determine which teams advance and which ones are eliminated.
