Durham Regional

Marissa Young's Blue Devils made the ACC Tournament semis, but this regional has TWO genuinely scary lower seeds. Arizona's Sydney Stewart is the Big 12 Player of the Year (.573 OBP / 1.034 SLG / 20 HR / 76 RBI — Top-10 nationally). Marshall set the program record with 89 HR and Sun Belt POY Sydni Burko (18 HR) at the 3-seed line. Duke is the favorite at home but this is the most dangerous regional on the entire board.
