Arkansas softball: Complete schedule for NCAA Fayetteville Regional
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas softball was awarded the No. 12 overall seed in the 2024 NCAA Tournament Sunday night and will host a regional for the fourth consecutive season.
The Razorbacks (36-17) will be the top seed in Fayetteville and open the tournament against fourth-seeded Southeast Missouri State on Friday. Arizona is the two-seed and will face three-seed Villanova that same day inside Bogle Park.
The Fayetteville Regional is paired with the Stillwater Regional for the super regional round. That regional is led by national No. 5 seed Oklahoma State, along with Michigan, Kentucky and Northern Colorado. Arkansas would travel to face Oklahoma State if both regionals' top seeds advance.
This is the Razorbacks' sixth straight NCAA Tournament berth under coach Courtney Deifel. Arkansas has reached the NCAA tournament 12 times, and half of those appearances have come under Deifel.
A terrific regular season closed on a low note as the Razorbacks lost a home series to Ole Miss before being eliminated by Missouri in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament.
