After a stellar regular season and an ACC quarterfinals appearance, Tech softball advanced to NCAA Regional play for the first time since 2012. The Jackets were dominant at home and on weekdays during the regular season, securing a 24–6 mark at Shirley Clements Mewborn Field and winning every single game played from Monday–Thursday before the ACC tournament.
While struggling against the ACC’s top teams, they played most of the season’s series close and earned a couple of ranked wins on the year, including a run-rule win over No. 16 Georgia in Athens. After finishing 11–13 in ACC play, Tech earned the seventh seed in the conference tournament and dispatched NC State in the opening round 4–2.
