South Carolina softball cruised through the Regional round of the NCAA Tournament with three dominant pitching performances. In total, the Gamecocks beat Elon and North Florida (twice) by a combined score of 16-2, with zero runs allowed after the first two frames of the Regional.

Because South Carolina earned a top-8 national seed, Columbia will host the Supers, as well. Coming to town are the 9-seed UCLA Bruins, who also made quick work of their Regional.

The winner of the Columbia Super Regional will head to the Women’s College World Series. South Carolina has not made it to Oklahoma City since 1997, in a time before the current Regional-Super Regional-College World Series format. In contrast to the Gamecocks, UCLA made the WCWS last season and eight times in the last nine full seasons, including finishing the 2019 campaign as the National Champions.
