Huskers will see some familiar faces when they face Coyotes in Lincoln Regional

NEBRASKA SOFTBALL ENTERS THE NCAA TOURNAMENT AS THE TOP RANKED TEAM IN THE COUNTRY AND THE TOP SEED IN THEIR REGIONAL, AND ARGUABLY WITH THE BEST PITCHING STAFF IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, NOAH SACCO. NOW WITH MORE ON THE HUSKERS FROM LINCOLN. ACCOUNTING FOR 45 OF THE HUSKERS 46 WINS IN THE CIRCLE, JORDY FROM ALEXIS JENSEN AND HANNAH CLEMMENSEN HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MOST DOMINANT PITCHING TRIOS IN THE NATION. NOW, THE HUSKERS ARE LESS THAN 24 HOURS AWAY FROM HOSTING ITS FIRST NCAA REGIONALS SINCE 2013. BEGGING THE QUESTION OF WHO WILL GET THE STARTING BALL IN THE OPENER AGAINST SOUTH DAKOTA. I DON’T KNOW. IT’S REALLY ABOUT MATCHUPS. IT’S ABOUT MATCHUPS. THE HEAT IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO FACTOR IN, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE A PITCHER HITTING AND BEING ON THE BASES A LOT WHEN THEY’RE ALSO TRYING TO PITCH AND DO THAT WHEN IT’S 90 DEGREES OUT. WE’RE NOT USED TO 90 DEGREES. IT’LL BE A GAME BY GAME SCENARIO. LEADING THE BIG TEN WITH A 1.24 ERA FROM COULD BE THE FRONTRUNNER TO PITCH WITH THE BIG TEN FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR CAMPAIGN. JENSEN HAS FOLLOWED RIGHT BEHIND TO LESSEN THE LOAD. LAST YEAR, JORDY THREW A MAJORITY OF INNINGS, SO TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ALEXIS TO COME IN AND SHE’S SO CONFIDENT ON THE MOUND, TO HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE AND BE ABLE TO TRUST HER AS A FRESHMAN IS REALLY HUGE FOR US. MAKING ITS FIRST NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCE, THE COYOTES BOAST A ROSTER WITH SEVEN NEBRASKA NATIVES, INCLUDING THE YOUNGER SISTER OF DYLAN CAREY BROOK CAREY, BUT THE HUSKERS ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THEIR FOE. THEY’VE GOT A PICTURE THAT IS JUST REALLY GRITTY AND COMES AT YOU, AND BECAUSE WE ARE AT HOME, IT’S KIND OF LIKE FUNNELING DOWN. AND BECAUSE THERE’S JUST LIKE A LOT OF EXCITEMENT AND NEBRASKA IS STAYING HOT AT THE RIGHT TIME. RIDING THE NATION. BEST 21 GAME WINNING STREAK INTO TOMORROW’S MATCHUP AGAINST THE COYOTES, HUSKERS LEAD THE ALL
