OXFORD, Miss. – For the sixth-consecutive season, Ole Miss has received a bid to the NCAA Softball Championship. The Rebels will compete in the Los Angeles Regional, set for May 20-22 in Los Angeles, California.
It is the first-ever trip to Los Angeles for the NCAA Regionals, however, the Rebels did make an appearance in the Super Regionals in 2017 against the UCLA Bruins.
Ole Miss will be joined in the regional by host and No. 5 national seed UCLA, Grand Canyon and LMU. As the No. 2 seed in the regional, the Rebels will take on No. 3 seed LMU Friday at 6:30 p.m. CT on ESPN+ in the opening game.
“Our team is real confident right now,” said head coach Jamie Trachsel. “We’ve been playing our best when it matters the most, and you know, you have to be this time our year.”
