Liberty (43-16) comes into the NCAA tournament with one of the highest win totals in the country but will get a tough SEC test in 19th-ranked Georgia (40-16).
Liberty Overview

Georgia Overview
Georgia looks to get back to the Women’s College World Series after coming up short last year. This year’s Bulldogs squad has a hard-hitting lineup with six players tallying 10 or more home runs apiece this season.

What’s at Stake
The winner will face either Durham Regional host and No. 12 seed Duke (41-8) or UMBC 31-10) on Saturday. The losing team from the Georgia Liberty game will look to stave off elimination on Saturday against the loser of the Duke-UMBC game.
The Durham Regional champion will face the Los Angeles Regional champion in the Super Regionals next week. UCLA, Loyola-Marymount, Ole Miss, and Grand Canyon will vie for the Los Angeles Regional title this weekend.
