Former Charter School of Wilmington player and current South Alabama Jaguars infielder, Marlayna Capaldi, 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 Alabama Jaguars begin the tournament as a number four seed and will square off against the fourth seeded Florida Atlantic Owls.

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.
