Lady Vol Softball is headed to a Super Regional for the 14th time in program history.
Tennessee (43-14) finished off its Knoxville Regional with three weekend wins over Miami (Ohio) and Ohio State twice.
After taking out the RedHawks 17-0 in five innings Friday, the Lady Vols beat the Buckeyes 4-2 Saturday and 5-0 Sunday.
With a perfect weekend, Tennessee improved to 94-48 all-time in the NCAA tournament and 57-18 in regional play, per UTSports.com.
Tennessee, the No. 7 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, will be hosting the Super Regional this upcoming weekend against Nebraska.
It will be the Lady Vols’ third consecutive super — and third consecutive time hosting it.
First pitch Friday is set for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
Game two is slated for Saturday at 5 p.m. ET with a potential game three to be determined.
The Cornhuskers will be making their first Super Regional appearance in over a decade, having last made it in 2014.
Nebraska is 42-13 on the season and also went undefeated in its regional, which was hosted by LSU in Baton Rouge.
If UT can take two out of three this weekend, it will receive a berth in the Women’s College World Series.
