The Tigers' highest ever regional score of 196.900 finished 2nd to Alabama, but with that 2nd place they move on to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2003. It's only the fourth time in team history that they've advanced this far. The Nationals are held April 17th-19th in Ft. Worth, TX. Congrats, ladies! Go out there and do great things!

Softball. The Tigers had a huge week in softball news. There was no mid-week game, however two Tigers were chosen in the National Pro Fastpitch league draft. Seniors Morgan Estell and Branndi Melero were chosen and will get a chance to continue playing softball past their college careers. Then there was the weekend series against Tennessee. The ladies took their fourth straight SEC series to improve to 10-2 in conference play and 37-5 overall. They won the first game 6-2 on Thursday night, dropped the middle game 8-6 on Friday, and took the rubber 12-9 on Saturday after falling behind 6-0 in the first inning.

The official site highlights the career of Auburn senior Lukas Ollert, who is from Munich, Germany. The Tigers honored him with the playing of his native national anthem on Sunday before the Senior Day matches. The men will be on the road this weekend in Knoxville and Lexington.

Women's Tennis. The ladies had a mid-week match against Mississippi State in Starkville on Wednesday. They fell 4-3 in a grueling match.
