We have reached the regional championship portion of the 2025 NCAA Softball Tournament.
The field has dwindled from 64 teams to 32 entering play on Sunday, with 16 more teams facing the end of their seasons today. The 16 winners from today will advance to the super regional and continue on the road to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The 2025 tournament has featured a lot of parity, as a number of ranked teams are on the ropes entering the championship. No. 1 seed Texas A&M needs to win twice to advance to a regional, while one loss could derail its season. No. 10 LSU has already been eliminated and will watch its home regional championship game from the stands.
No. 13 Arizona, No. 14 Duke and No. 16 Oregon also enter similar situations as the Aggies. The Wildcats, Blue Devils and Ducks all need two wins to continue their seasons. Will their seasons continue to the super regionals, or will they all face disappointment with an early ending to their seasons?
Here’s a look at scores and highlights from the second day of the 2025 NCAA Softball Tournament regional round on Sunday, May 18:
