 KANSAS CITY – For the second time in program history, the Taylor University softball team has qualified for the NAIA National Championship Tournament, as the Trojans grabbed one of the nine at-large bids to secure a spot in the national tournament.

The opening round consists of 10 pods of four teams each and will be played Monday, May 15, through Wednesday, May 17. The winner of each double-elimination pod will go to the NAIA World Series in Clermont, Florida.
