* if necessary (All times are Central) Tigers Earn First-Ever Berth Into the NCAA Regionals After a 35-12 season, Memphis gained entrance into the NCAA Regional, where they will face off with Southern Conference champion Chattanooga, Friday, at 3:30 p.m. (CT). The Tigers will trot out a 20-game winner in sophomore Carly Hummel to face a vaunted Lady Mocs squad that hits .352 as a team. Michelle Fuzzard is a jack-of-alltrades for Chattanooga, leading the team with 17 victories on the mound and 75 RBI. Memphis allconference honoree Heather Mott still leads the Tigers with a .364 average, while junior Jessica Phillips earned Memphis’ lone run in the C-USA Tournament on a solo home run, her 15th big fly of the season, in Memphis’ 5-1 loss to eventual champion East Carolina. In the double-elimination regional, Memphis will face either host #3/4 Alabama or Jackson State, Saturday. Last Time Against the Region Field This will be Memphis’ first time to play Chattanooga and Jackson State, should the Tigers face the SWAC Champions during region play. Memphis lost to Alabama, 7-2, on Feb. 7, 2009 in the South Alabama Invitational. Lelani Bernardino, Kamri Chester and Kailey Kassner each got hits, while then-sophomore Janelle Valle was saddled with the loss.
