NORTH ATLANTIC TEAM PREVIEWS

In 2017 Penn State earned the at-large bid to the North Atlantic Regional.  Weather related issues required the Nittany Lions to play 27 innings on Championship Sunday to secure the North Atlantic Regional Title.  Their hard-work and determination throughout the course of the regular season and regional paid dividends at the World Series where they battled all they way to become one of the final four after losing their opening game. Penn State will be hungry to get back to the 2018 World Series, but there’s plenty of other talented teams in the mix including the 2017 D2 National Champs, Slippery Rock University.  Who’s going to win the North Atlantic this year?  Check out the North Atlantic Team Previews to find out!

MID-AMERICA TEAM PREVIEWS

Colorado State has won the Mid-America Region the last two years and in 2017 earned the #2 seed at the World Series.  After a fantastic regular season and Regional Tournament, some would say it was a disappointing finish for the Rams in the National Championship after going two and out.  Will that disappointment fire up the Rams to make it back to the World Series in 2018, or will someone else in the Mid-America make a push to take down the Rams?  You’ll have to check out the Mid America Team Previews to find out…

SOUTHERN PACIFIC TEAM PREVIEWS

Nevada has been king of the mountain in the SoPac the last two years .  In 2016, not only did they win the Southern Pacific Crown, but they also took the National Championship crown.  They followed that up with another Regional Championship in 2017 but ultimately fell short of repeating at the World Series.  Can Nevada make it’s way back to Holly Springs, or will another team from the SoPac dethrone them?  Check out the Southern Pacific Team Previews to find out!
