The Wichita State softball team will play in its fourth NCAA Regional in program history, as the Shockers earned their first at-large berth in program history when the 64-team field announced Sunday night.
Wichita State (30-21) will play Oklahoma State (38-20) on Friday at 1:30 p.m. in Fayetteville, Ark. with the game broadcast on ESPNU. No. 13 Arkansas (39-15) and DePaul (35-15) is the other matchup. The regional tournament is double-elimination with the winner advancing to a best-of-three super regional.
It's a familiar matchup for the Shockers, which swept the season series against Oklahoma State when the Cowgirls were ranked both times.
