The ladies have an RPI ranking of 25th and 28th in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll. It would be great if they win the MVC tournament, but should still receive a bid, win or lose, to the NCAA tournament with that ranking.

Newman breaks NCAA record with fifth perfect game of the year. If the front page doesn't open in BRFDawg's post above, here is the link to the ESPN article: http://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/26720234/newman-sets-ncaa-record-5th-perfect-game,

+xCongrats to the program for winning another title. Also win #500 for coach Rich Calvert. +1 Selection is at 8pm on ESPN2. Drake RPI May 6th was #23. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/d1/ncaa-womens-softball-rpiPretty good chance the 'Dogs will go to number 10 Florida or 11 Northwestern. Drake is currently ranked #25 in the Coaches Poll. That COULD send Drake to Texas, LSU or Florida. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/d1/usa-today/nfca-coachesSIU has a RPI of 42. The loss in the semis to UNi doesn't help an at-large invite.

Drake vs Georgia, FRIDAY 6PM on ESPN2, at U of Minnesota (regional). They get screwed again! Ranked 23rd in the country, basically gave them a 39 seed. Georgia is ranked 17th. Prove them wrong Bulldogs!!!
SIU gets in and will go to #16 Northwestern. Much easier bracket than Drake received. Nice to see two teams from the MVC, but Drake got screwed!!
What a joke!

They play on Friday... do they play again on Saturday if they win? If they lose? (Not wildly familiar with the softball NCAA regional stuff)
