Softball to Face Maryland in Big Ten Tournament Wednesday
5/8/2022 7:21:00 PM | Softball
EAST LANSING, Mich. – The No. 12-seed in the 23rd Big Ten Conference Softball Tournament, Michigan State will face Maryland in round one at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 11. Michigan State is 1-2 against Maryland this season, defeating the Terrapins by a score of 2-1 on May 1.
Held May 11-14 at Secchia Stadium, the Big Ten Tournament returns after a two-year hiatus with a 12-team, four-day, single-elimination format, with the top four seeds earning byes into the quarterfinals. This is the first time Michigan State has hosted the event.
It's Michigan State's 15th appearance in the Big Ten Tournament since its inception in 1995. The tournament was briefly discontinued from 2009-2012 and was not held in 2020 or 2021. The Spartans last appeared in the 2018 Big Ten Tournament where they advanced to the conference semifinal. The Spartans concluded the regular season with a record of 24-27 after the team entered health and safety protocols last week.
All 11 tournament games will be televised live on the Big Ten Network (BTN) and can also be streamed through the FOX Sports App.
The winner of this year's Big Ten Tournament will earn the conference's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
