Like the Lady Reds, Coe earned an at-large bid into the tournament after a 3-0 loss to Central College in the 2019 American Rivers Conference Tournament on May 4. Diane Meyer (140-60) is in her fifth season as Coe head softball coach.
 
ABOUT UW-WHITEWATER (26-12, 11-3 WIAC)
 
Carthage's 6-26 all-time mark against the Warhawks includes 10-6 and 4-0 (8 Innings) losses at home on April 25 of this season. The Lady Reds have faced UW-Whitewater each of the last six seasons before a 12-year hiatus without competing against each other. Three of Carthage's five NCAA Tournament appearances took place at UW-Whitewater (2010, 2013, 2019).
 
The Warhawks earned their way into the 2019 NCAA Tournament as an at-large bid after losses to UW-Oshkosh (7-2) and UW-La Crosse (8-7) in the 2019 WIAC Tournament. Brenda Volk (649-262) is in her 21^st season as UW-Whitewater head softball coach.
 
ABOUT EUREKA COLLEGE (27-6, 14-4 SLIAC)

Debi Neff (152-95) is in her seventh season as Eureka head softball coach.
