DIVISION I TEAM PREVIEWS  |  DAY 3 OF 8  

MID AMERICA REGION!  

Fresh off a 2024 regional championship, Iowa State enters the spring season leading their conference at 5-1 in prime position to make the regional again. The Cyclones return 20 from last year’s World Series group, with 9 of those carrying 2024 all-region honors. 

The University of Colorado looks to return to the World Series after their 2023 appearance. The Buffs made the regional in 2024 but had an early exit after going 0-2. Colorado’s rival, Mid-America powerhouse, and 6X World Series champion, Colorado State, look to make it back to their 1st World Series since 2017. CSU made the 2024 regional and after an opening round win in the 2024 regional versus Kansas, the Jayhawks got revenge in the elimination game rematch by winning 9-8. Another team on the rise in the Mid-America resides in Lawrence, KS. Following an impressive 2024 season that saw Kansas fall to Iowa State in the regional championship, Kansas will look to return the regional and qualify for the World Series. After losing their 1st game at the 2024 regional, they fought all the way back to the regional final.

Can Iowa State defend their 2024 regional title and return to Alton?

NORTHERN PACIFIC REGION!

The University of Oregon looks to continue their conference domination and return to the World Series after a successful 2024 campaign. Since the 13/14 season, the Ducks have compiled an eye-opening 115-10 conference record, 8 conference titles, and 4 DI World Series appearances. The Ducks return 14 from last year’s World Series squad.

Standing in their way will be another Northern Pacific Powerhouse, the Utah State Aggies.  The Aggies have a decorated history of their own since 2014, showing off a 117-9 conference record of their own, 9 conference titles, and 4 World Series appearances. The Aggies will look for revenge off of a 2024 regional championship loss to the Ducks.

Boise State  returns a strong squad as well, returning 13 players from a 2024 regional team with 10 of those carrying 23/24 all-region team honors.

Who is the team to beat out West in 2025?
