Just like in 2019, the Michigan softball team went into the NCAA selection show without a lot of drama. Of course, back then, it was a defeat of Minnesota to claim the Big Ten title. On Sunday, it was a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Rutgers in the Big Ten’s regular-season finale to finish the year at 36-6. That win was likely to be the Wolverines' last at home this season.
With the Big Ten tournament canceled this season, Michigan locked up the conference title — and an automatic NCAA berth — a week ago. On Sunday night, the Wolverines found out who they’ll face in the regionals, and that they'll open on the road, in Seattle.
