Congrats to the Softball Lady Techsters! Well done!

I assume LA Tech will probably be sent to the LSU or Auburn regional. Marshall has always been sent to the Louisville regional.

I'm guessing Baton Rouge or Lafayette

Good luck and represent us well.

Baton Rouge regional

1) LSU
2) Texas Tech
3) LaTech
4) Monmouth

Marshall season isn't over. Marshall accepts a bid to the NISC.

Congrats to Marshall.

Also see MTSU has accepted a bid but don't see N Texas on there. I thought N Texas had an autobid to the NISC since they won the regular season. I wonder if they turned down the invite.

2019 NISC Field
Appalachian State (31-23, 13-13 Sun Belt)
Eastern Kentucky (34-20, 16-6 Ohio Valley)
Fresno State (36-18, 14-10 Mountain West)
George Washington (42-16, 15-7 Atlantic 10)
Iowa State (32-23, 7-11 Big 12)
Kent State (27-24, 11-5 MAC)
Liberty (37-20, 16-5 Atlantic Sun)
Loyola Marymount (35-18, 11-4 West Coast)
Marshall (39-20, 17-7 Conference USA)
McNeese State (30-30, 19-8 Southland)
Middle Tennessee (29-28, 11-13 Conference USA)
Nevada (27-25, 11-13 Mountain West)
Purdue (31-27, 11-13 Big Ten)
Rutgers (28-24, 11-12 Big Ten)
South Dakota (33-26, 12-6 Summit)
South Dakota State (36-17, 11-7 Summit)
Stephen F. Austin (35-21, 18-9 Southland)
UC Riverside (26-25, 8-13 Big West)
UT Arlington (30-26, 17-10 Sun Belt)

I didn't think this was even a possibility with our RPI sitting at 82. So this was a pleasant surprise.

UNT's message board says they did turn down a bid

This sounds like the 5 year old that brought the kickball to play with and takes his ball and goes home when his team is losing. North Texas wasn't predicted to be 1-2, they were picked 4th.

Unless the team voted on accepting an invite or not if I was a player Id be extremely upset. Have a chance to extend your season and play some pretty decent teams and you say "No Thanks".

*Shake Head*

They can’t afford to attend. Spent all their extra money on their football coach.

Marshall has never been in the Louisville Regional. Marshall was in the Lexington Regional in its two NCAA appearances.

Crazy WKU was 37-13 and did not get any post season play. Amazing softball is more corrupted than any sports, all SEC teams made the field. What's crazy is Texas A&M was 6-18 in SEC and made postseason. I know softball is not a money making sport but still unreal a team that finished last place by a mile can make NCAA tournament. UK was barely over .500 and got a national 14 seed, team WKU beat at UK with ease......Unreal....

I was thinking Lexington and wrote Louisville, we've played UK both times. I wish they would schedule is for the regular season.
