The SWAC Softball tournament champion Mississippi Valley State Devilettes will face No. 16 Louisiana-Lafayette in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Women's Softball Championship.
The two teams will square off on Friday at 7:00 at Lamson Park in Lafayette, La. Stanford (38-17) faces Baylor (33-20) at 3:30 on Friday.
