No. 5 Florida State softball (49-10) is one step closer to punching its ticket to the Women's College World Series. However, FSU must come through No. 12 Texas Tech (48-12) in the Super Regional of the NCAA tournament, which begins on Thursday at the Seminole Softball Complex.
This is FSU's third straight appearance in the best-of-three series, and 12th in school history, after defeating Auburn in the winner-take-all game in the Tallahassee regional. This is Texas Tech's first super regional appearance after winning all three games in its home regional last week.
