MELBOURNE, Fla. – No. 4 Florida Tech softball is set to host its first-ever postseason games. The NCAA DII South Region 2 tournament is set to begin Thursday, May 9, at 1 p.m. and will take place at Nancy Bottge Field.
 
This is Florida Tech's first trip to the postseason since 2015 when the team made it to the South Super Regional.
