LU draws 12th seeded Stanford (46-12) from Pacific-10 in opening round play this Friday up in Amherst, Mass. Official NCAA press release and brackets shown below:

I'm sure by now the coach of the Stanford Cardinals has ordered up the tapes from two years ago showing how Lehigh swept the Aggies of Texas A&M out of the tournament by identical scores of 4-3 in double-elim play before bowing out to Mass 4-6 and 0-3 in the Regional finals.

Good luck, Ladies.

Here's a look at the field:

Team / RPI (281 D-1 Teams)/ W-L Record

Standford / 13 / 45-10

UMass / 30 / 36-11

Princeton / 112 / 25-22

Lehigh / 149 / 35-14


While there's no doubt we are "playing up," let's not forget the fact that we already beat Princeton during the regular season (3-1 on 4/22), shut down a Top 100 Team (Maryland at College Park) 1-0, and have the best "Neutral Field" record (15-2) among those competing in Amherst this weekend. Of course, UMass is 13-0 at home this year and the team that put an end to our heroics (two wins over Texas A&M) in 2006.

It won't be easy, but I give us a chance in this the first round of the playoffs should Lisa Sweeney be on her game. Miss Sweeney, by the way, is ranked 4th in the Nation in Strike-out per 7 Innings of Play @ 10.7.
