For the first time in 22 years, South Dakota State softball is headed for the postseason.
After reaching the Summit League Championship finals last weekend, the Jackrabbits were announced May 13 as a part of a 17-team field in the 2018 National Invitational Softball Championship.
The Jackrabbits (34-16) earned the automatic bid from The Summit League and are part of a four-team, double-elimination regional May 16-18 in Greeley, Colorado. SDSU will take on Colorado State Wednesday at 4 p.m. CT in a first-round game. Host Northern Colorado and Loyola Marymount meet Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. CT.
The losers of Wednesday’s first-round bouts will square off in an elimination game at 1 p.m. CT Thursday, with the winners advancing to a Thursday semifinal at 4 p.m CT.
The regional champion, determined Friday, will advance to a final double-elimination event played May 23-26 at a to-be-determined host site.
