The LSU softball team will face off versus Texas State, the Southland
Conference champion, as part of four-team regional hosted by No. 8
national seed Texas A&M held from Friday to Sunday at Aggie Softball Complex.
Every pitch of the NCAA College Station Regional will be carried live online at ESPN3.com.

LSU (34-22, 15-13 SEC) secured its 14th NCAA Regional appearance highlighted by a pair of trips to the Women's College World Series during the 2001 and 2004 seasons. The Tigers also garnered two NCAA Super Regional runs in 2006 and 2007.

"It's definitely a big honor to be chosen among the 64 teams in the NCAA Tournament field," head coach Beth Torina said. "Our p l a y e r s h a v e earned it with their body of work and what we've accomplished already this season. We're excited to go to Texas A&M, and our players are looking forward to the challenging weekend ahead."

LSU picked up an atlarge nod after a sixth place finish in the SEC
standings. The Tigers are one of nine teams chosen from the SEC which
matches a league record set during the 2009 season. The Pac-12 and Big 12 conferences garnered eight selections into the
NCAA Field of 64.

The top sixteen teams were each seeded and placed at one of the regional sites. Four teams will participate at each of sixteen regional sites in a double-elimination tournament.

The sixteen teams advancing from regional competition will participate in a two-team, best of three super regional at eight sites the following
weekend. The Women's College World Series, which begins May 31,
will include the eight super regional winners.
