Seven teams from the Southeastern Conference will compete in the Super Regionals of the 2021 NCAA Division I Softball Championship.
These teams include Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri, Louisiana State, and Florida.
No. 1 Alabama
Third-seeded Alabama is the only team to play in all 16 Super Regionals since the current postseason format was adopted. This year marks the 11th time the Tide has hosted Super Regionals, previously winning nine of the 10 at Rhoads Stadium.
Overall, the Tide is 48-1 and currently have a winning streak of sixteen.
On Friday, May 28, Alabama will take on Kentucky at 12 p.m. in the Tuscaloosa Super Regional.
No. 17 Kentucky
The Wildcats won three consecutive elimination games to advance to the program’s fourth consecutive super regional. Kentucky took two of three against Alabama in the regular-season series. But, since they have recently played them, the team shouldn’t lose too much sleep thinking about how to face the Tide.
Overall, the Wildcats are 43-14 and currently have a winning streak of three.
No. 7 Arkansas
The Razorbacks advanced to super regionals for the second time in their program history. They are currently 43-9 overall and have a winning streak of three. On Friday, May 28th the Razorbacks will take on Arizona at 6 p.m. in the Fayetteville Super Regional.
