EDMOND, OK – Defending national champion Augustana cruised to the NCAA Division II Softball Central Regional title Saturday, routing NSIC opponent Minnesota State-Mankato 7-0.
The Vikings went 3-0 in the regional tournament, having beaten Southern Arkansas Thursday in extra innings and MSU-Mankato on Friday.
Augustana scored seven first-inning runs on Saturday to knock out the Mavericks, who had upset the Vikings in the NSIC tournament.
On Thursday, the Vikings will begin play in the National Division II Championship in Denver at Metro State, the same site where Augustana won the national title two years ago.
