The Nebraska softball team is ranked No. 1 by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and ESPN/USA Softball. However, the Huskers are hosting the Lincoln Regional as the No. 4 overall seed and will welcome the Louisville Cardinals, Grand Canyon Lopes, and South Dakota Coyotes for the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. The only team not ranked in the Top 25 is South Dakota. Nebraska enters the weekend 46-6, winning the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles. NU's 43-6 regular-season record was good for the best regular-season winning percentage in program history. The 23-1 mark in Big Ten play tied the Big Ten record for conference wins in a season. The Huskers are 69-58 all-time in the NCAA Tournament and have made seven Women’s College World Series. The road runs through Lincoln. pic.twitter.com/JGQfzKzDAZ — Nebraska Softball (@HuskerSoftball) May 10, 2026 How to Follow Friday, May 15 Game 1: Louisville vs. Grand Canyon | 3 p.m. CT | ESPNU Game 2: Nebraska vs. South Dakota | 5:30 p.m.…
