Three ELCA schools — PLU; Roanoke College, Salem, Va.; and Luther College, Decorah, Iowa — progressed to the NCAA Division III National Softball Championships, held at Moyer Stadium in Salem.
It was the Lutes' first trip to the series since 2002, Roanoke's first since 2001, and Luther's third consecutive appearance.
