The 2024 NCAA softball tournament is in full swing.
The 64-team tournament begins with Regionals from May 17-19 and follows a double-elimination format. The 16 regional winners advance to super regionals, where two teams will play a best-of-three series from either May 23-25 or May 24-26.
Eight teams will then advance to the 2024 Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City beginning on May 30. The WCWS is a double-elimination tournament, and the final two teams will play a best-of-three series for the national championship.
Indiana earned an NCAA Tournament bid for the second consecutive season under coach Shonda Stanton. The Hoosiers went 40-18 overall and finished eighth in the Big Ten with a 12-11 in regular season record, then made it all the way to the Big Ten Tournament title game.
Heading into the NCAA Tournament, Aly VanBrandt leads Indiana with a .370 batting average, and Avery Parker has hit a team-high 13 home runs. Taylor Minnick leads the Hoosiers with 53 RBI and 108 total bases, and Indiana has seven players with at least 10 stolen bases. Brianna Copeland (184.1 innings, 2.81 ERA) and Sophie Kleiman (121.1 innings, 2.54 ERA) have pitched the majority of innings for Indiana this season.
Indiana was eliminated at the Columbia Regional after an 8-7 loss to Washinton and a 5-1 loss to No. 7 overall seed Missouri.
