Day 1 of the NCSA Division I Regionals is in the books!  A lot of great softball was played we even crowned two Regional Champions early due to bad weather being anticipated for Sunday.

Michigan State defeated their arch rivals, Michigan State in the Great Lakes Regional Championship Game and Air Force defeated Iowa in the Mid-America Regional Championship Game.  Though Michigan State and Iowa came up short, they did punch their tickets to the 2024 NCSA DI World Series joining Michigan and Air Force.

In fact, 15 teams punched their tickets to the NCSA DI World Series after Day 1 of Regionals.  Illinois will face WVU in the Great American Regional Tournament.  Both the Fighting Illini and Mountaineers will compete in Columbus, GA for a National Championship.  Joining them are the back to back defending champs, Virginia Tech.  They will face the winner of the UNC versus NC State game tomorrow at 9am EST.  The winner of that game will also move onto the NCSA DI World Series.  Vermont and Sacred Heart both punched their tickets to the World Series.  They’ll face off at 10am tomorrow for the New England Regional Championship.  In the North Atlantic, Maryland will take on Navy at 10am EST.  Both the Terrapins and Midshipmen are headed to Columbus.  At-large bid, Boise State, punched their ticket to the World Series and will face Northern Arizona in the Pacific Regional Championship.  Lastly, Florida State will take on Georgia in the South Atlantic Championship Game at 10am.  Both programs are headed to the World Series.

All in all, one more World Series spot is up for grabs in the Mid-Atlantic, and 6 regional championships will be decided tomorrow.
