NCAA Softball 2023: Schedule, Game Times, key details

The NCAA softball 2023 is here. One notable absence from the upcoming super regionals is UCLA, the No. 2 overall seed and a perennial powerhouse in the sport. The Bruins, who hold the record for the most NCAA softball championships with 12 titles, were unexpectedly swept on their home field by San Diego State, coached by former UCLA star Stacey Nuveman-Deniz. This loss allowed San Diego State to advance to their first-ever super regional.

In the super regionals, the unseeded teams San Diego State, Oregon, and Louisiana will join the competition alongside the dominant top-seeded Oklahoma team. The Pac-12 league has four teams competing in the super regionals, compared to three teams from each of the SEC, ACC, and Big 12 leagues. In contrast, one team from each of the Sun Belt, Mountain West, and Big Ten conferences competes in the super regionals. As these teams compete for a position in the College World Series, it will be an intense weekend.

Here is the schedule for the upcoming softball super regionals:

Thursday: No. 15 Utah vs. San Diego State at Salt Lake City (Game 1)

Friday: Several games including No. 1 Oklahoma vs. No. 16 Clemson, No. 8 Duke vs. No. 9 Stanford, No. 5 Alabama vs. No. 12 Northwestern, and more (Game 1)

Saturday: Second games of the series for various teams

Sunday: If necessary, Game 3 for the teams in contention

This weekend will be filled with exciting matchups as the teams compete for a spot in the College World Series.
