ALLIANCE — Home is where the Mount Union softball team will stay.
Head coach Meghan Simons’ team will host Massachusetts-Dartmouth in a NCAA Division III Tournament super regional this week. The first two games are set for May 21 at 2 p.m. and May 22 and 1 p.m. A winner-take-all third game, if necessary, would be played on May 22 at 3:30 p.m.
Mount Union (33-7) is appearing in a super regional for the first time in program history. The Purple Raiders needed to beat Penn College on May 15 and sweep a doubleheader from Christopher Newport on May 16 in the Mount Union Regional to keep their season alive.
Massachusetts-Dartmouth (33-11) will also be appearing in a super regional for the first time. The Corsairs upset 10th-ranked WPI 8-2 on May 17 to win the Worcester Regional.
The winner of the Mount Union Super Regional will advance to the finals May 28-June 3 in Salem, Virginia.
