With the win, the Huskers (33-13) reached the regional final for the first time 2007, and now face top-seeded Arkansas at 8 p.m. (central) on ESPNU. The Huskers will need to beat the Razorbacks twice to advance to next week's Super Regional.
The Huskers matched their school mark for runs in an NCAA Tournament game (18 vs. Eastern Michigan, 2003) while the 19 hits fell one shy of the school mark for hits in a postseason game.
