Where Alabama Softball is Seeded in NCAA Tournament, Tuscaloosa Regional Opponents

Alabama softball is dancing into the NCAA postseason.

The Crimson Tide earned the No. 1 overall seed in the field, marking the 21st straight postseason that Alabama will host a regional at Rhoads Stadium in Tuscaloosa. USC Upstate, Belmont and Southeastern Louisiana will be joining the Crimson Tide at Rhoads to round out the Tuscaloosa Regional.

This is Alabama's first time reaching the No. 1 overall seed since 2010.

Alabama (49-7) is coming off one of its best regular seasons in program history. It made a run to the SEC tournament championship game before losing to defending national champion Texas. Head coach Patrick Murphy was named the SEC Coach of the Year for the sixth time, and ace Jocelyn Briski earned SEC Pitcher of the Year.

Murphy will be trying to lead the program to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City for the 16th time after missing out last season. Alabama won its lone national championship in 2012.
