Claflin Softball Sweep Top Post-Season CIAA Honors
School-record streak continues; 11 in a row for Rush
It's the 11th straight year that the Gold Rush — 14-8 and ranked seventh in the most recent coaches poll — qualified for nationals. The XULA men reached the semifinals a year ago and were national runner-up in 2016 and 2017.
The Gold Rush were one of 24 teams selected for nationals. Thirteen teams received automatic bids, 10 received at-large bids, and Mobile received a host-school bid.
It's the 11th time overall that the Gold Rush qualified.
The final pretournament step — the NAIA's announcement of the bracket and seedings — will occur Tuesday. The five-day tournament will begin May 14 at Copeland-Cox Mobile Tennis Center in Mobile, Ala.
The top eight seeds will receive first-round byes and play their first matches May 15. XULA received a bye seven of the previous eight seasons, missing only in 2014.
XULA reached the quarterfinals each of the last seven years.
Georgia Gwinnett, which eliminated the Gold Rush each of the past three years, will seek its sixth consecutive national championshhip. The Grizzlies have won 105 consecutive dual matches and have not lost since a 5-3 decision against Hawaii Pacific on April 3, 2015, in Pensacola, Fla.
