Michigan softball coach Carol Hutchins, whose team won the Big Ten title a week ago, is livid the Wolverines will not be hosting an NCAA Regional this weekend. Instead, they will head to Seattle.
The 18th-ranked Wolverines (36-6) will face Seattle University (29-19) in the double-elimination regional at 8 p.m. Friday on ESPN2, it was revealed during the NCAA Selection Show on Sunday night. Seattle University won the Western Athletic Conference championship last Saturday, its second straight conference title.
Washington, the host and No. 16 overall seed, is 41-11 and will face Portland State. The winner of the regional will advance to the Super Regionals, likely against No.
