CHARLOTTE, N.C. – With three wins already under their belts at the C-USA Tournament, the Middle Tennessee softball team added a fourth on Friday afternoon. The Blue Raiders came from behind to defeat No. 1 seeded FAU, 7-5, to advance to the Championship game.
As the No. 6 seed, MT is the lowest seed to advance to the C-USA Championship game since 2014, when No. 7 Marshall faced No. 1 Tusla.
MT was propelled to victory thanks to a grand slam from junior Kirstyn Cuccia in the top of the sixth inning.
This is the first time that MT has advanced to the C-USA Championship game, as it the program's first time in the tournament.
