and will field a tournament bracket of Harvard (29-15), Missouri (39-20)
and Arizona (37-19) in the 2005 NCAA Regional as announced by NCAA Division

1 Cal State Fullerton and No. 4 Harvard set to do battle at 8 p.m. All
games will be televised live on ESPNU.
The Fullerton Regional will keep their eye on the results of the Arizona
State Regional as the winner of each will match up in the Super Regional
held either June 10-12, or June 11-13. The Regional in Tempe, Ariz. features
Coastal Carolina, UNLV, East Carolina and Arizona State.
Only Regional hosts Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State got the call
to the tournament from the Big West Conference as other such as Cal Poly
and UC Irvine failed to make the cut. USC and Pepperdine, fresh off of
a conference championship, will also represent Southern California.
