FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The No. 5 National Seed Arkansas Razorbacks will face No. 4 Nebraska in the Hogs’ first Women’s College World Series game in program history on Thursday, May 28 at 8:30 p.m. on ESPN2 inside Devon Park in Oklahoma City, Okla.

The Razorbacks are now 47-11 on the season with a program-record 26 run-rule victories. Arkansas became just the second team in NCAA history to open NCAA Tournament play with five consecutive run-rule victories alongside 1995 National Champion Arizona. The Razorbacks punched their ticket to Oklahoma City courtesy of a 10-2 (5 inn.) victory over Duke on Saturday that featured home runs from first baseman Tianna Bell (two-run HR) and second baseman Karlie Davison (three-run HR) in addition to a three-hit performance from shortstop Atalyia Rijo.

Nebraska went 5-0 on its way to the Women’s College World Series and defeated No. 15 Oklahoma State by the scores of 9-1 and 8-1 during Super Regional play to advance to its first WCWS since 2013.
