What a season for the 2017 South Atlantic Champions, the University of Central Florida.  They battled through and eventually won the South Atlantic Regional after winning two 1-run games and came into the World Series as the #3 seed.  Who would have thought they would be part of the best World Series game ever played.  In the National Championship Game they lost in the bottom of the 10th inning 1-0.  They came up just short of their ultimate goal which will surely provide them motivation to get back in 2018.  But will that motivation be enough?  Will someone else take the South Atlantic crown this year?  Check out the South Atlantic Team Previews to find out.

Texas State seemed to come out of nowhere in 2017 as the Champions of the Gulf Coast.  They were selected as the at-large bid for the Gulf-Coast Regional then proceeded to win it in dominating fashion.  Coming into the World Series as the #7 seed, not much was expected out of them especially with their opening round match up against Colorado State.  The Bobcats made their voice heard early defeating CSU 6-0.  They ultimately lost their next two games, but were extremely competitive and showed they were a force to reckon with.  Will that be the same in 2018 or will another team take the crown?  Read the Gulf Coast Team Previews to form your opinion!

In 2017 Utah State represented the Northern Pacific Region at the World Series after a two year hiatus.  It certainly didn’t go as expected for Aggies as they went 1-2 with both losses being at the hands of Nevada.  In their previous two appearances at the World Series in 2012 and 2014, they won National Championships.  Oregon and Western Washington are two other teams that have won the Northern Pacific in recent years.  Who will it be in 2018?  Check out the Northern Pacific Team Previews to find out!

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!

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…

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!
