Entering its final week of the regular season, the Northwestern Softball team has put together a 38-7 record, including an 18-2 mark in conference play.

Out of the 64 teams selected to compete in the NCAA Tournament each season, only the top 16 become regional hosts, with the top eight hosting Super Regionals.
