Missouri softball live score updates in NCAA Columbia Regional championship vs. Omaha
They took the long way round, but the Tigers are competing for the regional championship.
Missouri softball survived two elimination games in the NCAA Columbia Regional on Saturday, and now faces Omaha — the undefeated regional four-seed — on Sunday afternoon at Mizzou Softball Stadium for a spot in the NCAA Super Regional round.
Mizzou (45-16), the No. 7 national seed, lost in its regional opener to Omaha (43-13) on Friday evening. The Mavericks followed up that upset win by taking down Washington in the winners bracket Saturday afternoon.
That means MU, which eliminated Indiana and Washington in succession to keep its season alive, must beat Omaha twice Sunday to advance.

Mizzou last advanced to an NCAA Super Regional in 2021, when the Tigers fell to James Madison. Missouri has fallen in the regional round in every other full season of coach Larissa Anderson’s tenure, which began in 2019.
