GAINESVILLE, Fla. (May 18, 2017) -- After the thrill of the announcement that FIU earned its third at-large selection into the NCAA Softball postseason, the Panthers have concluded their preparations and are ready to take the field against Oklahoma State and the rest of the NCAA Gainesville Regional, which begins Friday.
FIU faces the Cowgirls at noon, with the Gators facing Florida A&M at 2:30 from Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. FIU's opening game will be televised nationally on ESPNU. The Florida-FAMU contest will air on SEC Network.
The four-team field, including the overall number-one seeded Gators and Florida A&M, will battle in a double-elimination format until one team is left to advance to the Super Regional Round next week.
