Ann Arbor – Michigan coach Carol Hutchins is never one to get ahead of herself, and she certainly won’t let her players think beyond the next game.
But the second-ranked Wolverines (49-5) have advanced to the NCAA Super Regional next weekend against Missouri and have home-field advantage again at Alumni Field. Michigan, which beat Missouri in their only regular-season meeting, is expected to find out late Sunday the Super Regional schedule.
What they do know is the winner advances to the Women’s College World Series. Michigan hopes to make its 12th World Series appearance after finishing as national champion runner-up last season.
