Editor’s note: Here’s a look at Saturday’s full schedule with TV information. A group of college softball teams that began the day with national championship aspirations still intact, faint as they may have been, will see those dreams and their seasons come to an end Saturday. The 2025 NCAA Softball Tournament continues Saturday with a full slate of more than two dozen games, half of which are elimination contests in which teams that lost the previous day would exit the double-elimination tournament with a second defeat. Though favorites largely had their way with overpowered opponents, the first day of the tournament Friday produced some notable results that have some squads in surprising positions. Perhaps no game raised more eyebrows than LSU, the national No. 10 seed and a regional host, giving up a seventh-inning run to fall to Southeastern Louisiana 4-3. The Tigers will aim to stave off elimination Saturday against UConn. LSU was the only one of the 16 national seeds and regional hosts to lose Friday, with the top seven national seeds winning their opening games by a combined score of 81-3. That series of lopsided scores included No. 1 seed Texas A&M thumping Saint Francis 18-0 and No. 7 seed Tennessee blowing out Miami (Ohio) 17-0.
