The road to the Women’s College World Series continues in Tuscaloosa this weekend as Alabama softball prepares to host the LSU Tigers in the NCAA Super Regional round at Rhoads Stadium.
The Crimson Tide enters the matchup after a dominant performance in regional play as the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament. Alabama swept through the first round of regionals with victories over USC Upstate and Belmont, outscoring the opponents 20-0 across the three games.
Alabama secured its spot in the Super Regional after a 9-0 win over USC Upstate. Pitcher Vic Moten carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning while the Crimson Tide offense exploded for four home runs. Jena Young led the offensive effort with two home runs and four RBIs, while Audrey Vandagriff and Brooke Wells also homered in the win.
The Crimson Tide’s pitching staff has been one of the team’s major strengths entering regionals. Jocelyn Briski, Moten, Kaitlyn Pallozzi and Alea Johnson combined to shut out opponents throughout regional play, continuing a season-long trend of dominance inside the circle.
LSU comes to Tuscaloosa after sweeping through the Baton Rouge Regional. The Tigers defeated Akron 8-0 before beating Virginia Tech twice, including a 7-2 victory on Sunday.
The Tigers are led offensively by Jalia Lassiter and Maci Bergeron, who both produced strong performances during regional play. Bergeron finished the weekend batting .600 with four RBIs, while Lassiter extended a recent hot streak with a home run in LSU’s regional final against Virginia Tech.
