BOSTON \u2013\u00a0After hoisting its eighth Patriot League trophy in 11 years, the now four-time reigning conference champion Boston University softball team will fly down to the double elimination Lubbock Regional hosted by 2025 national runner-up Texas Tech\u00a0on May 15-17 as part of the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n
Seeded third in the\u00a0regional, the Terriers (46-13) will open against the\u00a0Southeastern Conference’s at-large bid recipient, Ole Miss (34-24), on Friday (May 15) with the ESPNU broadcast slated for a\u00a02 p.m. ET first pitch. The No. 11 national-seeded Raiders (52-6) from the Big 12 will take\u00a0on MAAC\u00a0champion Marist (37-19) in the second contest at 4:30 p.m. ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Making its ninth NCAA appearance as the Patriot League\u00a0champion and 15th overall, BU will be visiting the southwest for the fifth time in seven tournaments\u00a0following four visits to the state of Oklahoma (2018, 21, 24, 25). Last season, the Terriers came up short to the eight-time NCAA champion Sooners\u00a0and Summit champion Omaha after eliminating Horizon League champion Cleveland State in 2024 and MEAC champion NC Central in 2023.<\/p>\n
The Terriers will enter a\u00a0regional as the No. 3 seed for the fourth time in five appearances and fifth overall after earning the seed in 2012, 2021, 2023 and 2024. Riding a 12-game win streak, BU will face Ole Miss for the first time in program history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
BU only faced Texas Tech\u00a0once back in 2011 with the Red Raiders pulling out a 4-0 decision during South Florida’s The Game Tournament held in Tampa, Florida. The Terriers are 2-4 all-time against the Red Foxes after earning a 2-0 win in February 2020 at Arkansas’ Razorback Invitational.<\/p>\n
The Lubbock\u00a0Regional victor will advance to the Super Regional\u00a0on May 21-24 against the winner of the Gainesville Regional hosted by No. 6 national-seeded Florida.<\/p>\n
