Most coaches at NCAA Tournament seem satisfied with current format, which doesn't reseed the Women's College World Series after super regionals

After opening-round losses on Thursday, Tennessee and Florida face each other in the first game of the double-elimination bracket on Friday.

The Women's College World Series got underway with four thrilling games on Thursday, including two walk-off home runs. There are two elimination games today and two winners' bracket games on Saturday (times are ET): Tennessee softball legend Monica Abbott is weighing in on the action, and it's safe to say she’s loving what she’s seeing.

The seventh-seeded Volunteers advanced to play the loser of Saturday’s Texas Tech vs. UCLA game in an elimination game Sunday. Third-seeded Florida (48-17) was knocked out in two games, including Thursday’s 3-0 loss to Texas.

The Oregon Ducks softball team lost 4-2 to UCLA in the first round of the WCWS. Here are three defining moments from the defeat.

The NCAA Tournament gets going today across the country, and Tennessee is set to defend its national title coming out of the Knoxville Regional as the No. 14 seed. The Volunteers limped it home in the regular season, dropping six of their last seven series to close. Tennessee did find a couple of big wins over Alabama and Texas in Hoover, however.

The approach of treating baseball like what it is, a game, and not like a life or death scenario has fueled the Profs into the College World Series for the second time since 2021.

We know exactly what we need to do this week and we’re ready to go,” said coach Bryan Haley, whose team is 43-4 this season.
