Former Calhoun High School player and current South Carolina Gamecocks outfielder, Carlie Henderson, will compete in the NCAA D1 Softball Championship Tournament.

There are 64 teams in the tournament, with the final eight teams receiving an invite to Omaha, Nebraska to play for the College World Series title.

The South Carolina Gamecocks begin the tournament as a number 10 seed and will square off against the 10th seeded Utah Utes.

The first round, Regionals, is double elimination where a team is only eliminated after two losses. From there, 16 teams will make the Super Regionals and play a best-of-three series.

Finally, the eight winners from Super Regionals will head to Omaha for a chance to play for the title of College World Series Champion!
