Former Plano Senior High School player and current Princeton Tigers outfielder and infielder, Cate Bade, will compete in the NCAA D1 Softball Championship Tournament.

There are 64 teams in the tournament, with the final eight teams receiving an invite to Omaha, Nebraska to play for the College World Series title.

The Princeton Tigers begin the tournament as a number 13 seed and will square off against the 13th seeded Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns.

The first round, Regionals, is double elimination where a team is only eliminated after two losses. From there, 16 teams will make the Super Regionals and play a best-of-three series.

Finally, the eight winners from Super Regionals will head to Omaha for a chance to play for the title of College World Series Champion!
