2022 D2 Softball

Not sure that the NSIC needs to have an exclusive thread so I opened this up for everyone.

That being said- Augie picked for first, Mavs for 2nd in preseason NSIC poll.

I literally haven't given two turds about Carson-Newman softball since Vicki Holyfield "retired".

Not going to start a 2024 thread, maybe there is one already. But.

Yes, I know it is 2025. Three NSIC teams make the dance.

Also hijacking this thread, here's an interesting quirk of regionalization. Out of the 8 teams in the Atlantic Region, not only are 6 from the PSAC, but all 6 are from the East Division. This made the NCAA Tournament easier for PSAC East teams to qualify for than the PSAC Tournament, which only took 5 teams per division.

Only 2 NSIC teams. And Augustana went from 3rd in the regional rankings, to 1st, to 3rd seed. How does that work?

As long as MSU has a chip and a chair, they have a shot.

I must be on drugs. I was looking at Inkblot's last prediction with UMD at 7. I need to put my glasses on next time.

I don't know how Augie bounced like that. Win the regular season, win the playoff, go on the road.

Honestly, the Central region rankings confused me... the only region where I got a team wrong. I never quite figured out what was keeping Harding and Minnesota State in those spots, and bumping Augustana from 3rd to 1st and then back to 3rd really didn't seem necessary.

You have an amazing accuracy %. Whatever your formula is, keep using it. Sometimes it makes me think that the committee made the mistake!

[MSUMavMan2009]

I think Augie got screwed.

Mavs got a win today but lost the second. Ends their season. Augie has played 22 innings in 2 games and meets MSSU in the championship game Saturday. Augie is on the winners side and would need to be beaten twice.

Lady Vikings definitely got jobbed. In softball and baseball, committees seem to think regionals need to be south of NSIC. Is UCM the permanent home for baseball?
