UTES AND HUSKIES
The Utes and Huskies meet for the fifth time this season. Utah defeated UW, 8-4, in the most recent meeting, on May 12, in the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals in Tucson, following a series win by UW in Seattle, April 21-23. Utah won the opening game, 2-1, while UW won the remaining two games, 6-5 and 6-3.
UTAH'S PATH TO THE WCWS
Utah, the 2023 Pac-12 Tournament champion, entered the 2023 NCAA DI Softball Championship as the No. 15 seed. The Utes join No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 3 Florida State, No. 4 Tennessee, No. 5 Alabama, No. 6 Oklahoma State, No. 7 Washington and No. 9 Stanford in the Women’s College World Series. Utah returns to the WCWS for the first time since 16th-year head coach Amy Hogue was a senior All-American on the Utes’ 1994 squad. Utah’s three other NCAA WCWS appearances came in 1982, 1985, 1991 and 1994. The Utes also played in the 1976 AIAW College World Series.
The Utes secured their spot in the WCWS by defeating San Diego State in a three-game NCAA Super Regional in Salt Lake City. SDSU took the first game, 4-3, on Friday, May 26, before Utah stormed back to win 10-1 on Saturday and 7-2 in a series-clinching victory on Sunday before a record crowd of 3,083 at Dumke Family Softball Stadium. Utah earned the right to host the Super Regional by sweeping its way through the Salt Lake City NCAA Regional May 19-21 with one win over Southern Illinois and two against Ole Miss.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The eight WCWS participants are split into two brackets, with Bracket 1 composed of Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama and Stanford, and Bracket 2 featuring Utah, Florida State, Oklahoma State and Washington. The Pac-12 boasts the most WCWS teams in 2023 with three (Utah, UW, Stanford), followed by the Big 12 (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State) and the SEC (Alabama, Tennessee) with two each, and the ACC with one (Florida State). The winner of Thursday’s Utah-UW game will face the winner of the Florida State-Oklahoma State game, scheduled for 5 p.m. MT on Thursday.
