TULSA, Okla. — The Tulsa softball team will head to the NCAA Stillwater Regional and face Arkansas at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 16, after the Golden Hurricane received an at-large bid, it was revealed Sunday night.
Â
Tulsa (35-18) and Arkansas (38-18) are joined in the regional by No. 13 overall seed Oklahoma State (39-14) and BYU (29-24). Thursday's opener between Tulsa and Arkansas will be broadcast on ESPN3.
Â
This will mark the 11th regional appearance for Tulsa and the fourth at-large bid in program history. All 11 regional appearances have come under 14th-year head coach John Bargfeldt, who now has guided TU to the NCAA Tournament in eight of the last nine seasons.
Â
TU defeated the Razorbacks, 2-1, on March 13 with the help of a Haley Meinen homer, while Rylie Spell hit a go-ahead RBI double in the contest. The last time the programs met in the postseason, Meinen hit a walk-off home run to beat Arkansas in the opening game of the 2017 Norman Regional.
Â
The Hurricane also split a pair of games with the Cowgirls this season, taking a 3-0 win on March 20 before a 5-0 setback on April 16. Each team won on its home field. In the TU victory, Tori Stafford hit a three-run homer and Chenise Delce tossed a one-hitter en route to the win.
Â
In all, Tulsa has won nine of the last 11 games against Arkansas, while it has taken 12 of the last 14 contests against Oklahoma State. The Hurricane is 1-2 all-time against BYU and the teams have not met since 2010.
