The softball team split Friday's doubleheader with Harvard and won game 3 this afternoon 3-2 to win the Ivy League and earn the AQ for post-season play.  Venue and opponent will be announced Sunday, May 16 late.  Congratulations to yet another Cornell team which has posted a tremendous season!

Cornell is heading out to #4* Arizona for the Regional. Joining them will be #16 Oklahoma State and Hofstra. Cornell has never played any of these teams before, which surprises me.

*Cornell Athletics says that Arizona is #10, but that is a mistake; ASU is #10.

They're going by the NCAA seeding, where Arizona is #10: http://www.ncaa.com/brackets/2010/ncaa_bracket_DI_softball.html

How unfortunate (for me) that ASU happened to be #10 in the polls.

But Arizona State is coming to the northeast while two northeast teams are going to Arizona.  In a sport, where they try to keep NCAA travel to a minimum as in many of the other brackets, this seems like unneccessary travel especially since Cornell was kept close to home last year.

Cornell lost their first game to Arizona 9-0 in five innings.  They play Oklahoma State Saturday at 7:00 PM EDT.  Oklahoma State lost to Hofstra 8-6 in an earlier game today.

Oklahoma State 7, Cornell 0. Ouch.

That said, congratulations to the women of the Big Red for another Ivy League title and a great season overall.
