The Washington Huskies will open their 32nd consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament with a matchup with the South Florida Bulls on Friday night in Fayetteville, Arkansas, as coach Heather Tarr's team is looking to make it past the regionals for the first time since 2023.
The Huskies will have plenty of star power to rely on in the lineup, led by All-Big Ten First Team and NFCA All-Mountain Region First Team honorees Alexis DeBoer and Giselle Alvarez. The former followed up on being named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2025 with a strong sophomore campaign, leading the team with 18 home runs, 45 runs scored, 1.221 OPS, and 36 walks, while her .359 batting average, 122 total bases, 60 hits, and 51 runs batted in all ranked inside the top five on the roster.
The latter's .376 batting average, 68 hits, 53 RBIs, and 126 total bases all led the Huskies, while her career-high 15 home runs trailed just DeBoer, and she added 37 runs scored, 11 doubles, a 1.110 OPS, and 5 stolen bases on the year to anchor the middle of the order, which should prove to be quite a challenge for Bulls ace Annie Long.
Long, who was named the American Athletic Conference's Pitcher of the Year, has been dominant all year. She holds a 21-5 record with a 1.62 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and .207 batting average against with 14 complete games and a 106:51 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
The game is scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m. PT.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN 2.
The start time may be delayed due to lightning affecting the earlier game between Arkansas and Fordham.
