Regional 2-seed Washington and No. 4-seed Omaha were facing off in the winner’s bracket for a direct berth in Sunday’s championship. Missouri, in order to extend its season by another day, must eliminate Indiana and then defeat the loser of the Huskies-Washington matchup later Saturday.
Missouri, coached by Larissa Anderson since 2019, reached the championship in the 2024 SEC Softball Tournament, knocking off Ole Miss, Arkansas and LSU before falling to Florida in the title game. The Tigers, who are 43-16 this season, have more wins than in any other season under Anderson.
Mizzou last advanced to an NCAA Super Regional in 2021, when the Tigers fell to James Madison. MU has fallen in the regional round every other season in Anderson’s tenure.
Mizzou’s bats went cold in a 3-1, extra-inning loss to Omaha on Friday evening, which means the Tigers are now on the brink of another season ending at the regional stage.
The NCAA Columbia Regional started Friday and will run through Sunday, when the championship will be played. You can find live score updates from Missouri’s elimination game against the Hoosiers here:
