WCWS Championship round one: Husky Softball battles Florida State

#5 Washington (52-8, 15-8 Pac-12) faces #6 Florida State (56-12, 21-3 ACC) for the 2018 NCAA Softball National Championship series starting tonight at 4 p.m. on ESPN.

History

The Huskies are making their 4th appearance in the national championship in program history. Prior to the NCAA making it a 3-game series starting in 2005, Washington lost to Arizona in 1996 and lost to UCLA in 1999. The Huskies swept Florida in 2009 for their only national title.

Florida State has made a number of WCWS appearances, but this is the first time that FSU has ever made the NCAA championship game.
