ANNVILLE, Pa. -  The #23 Lebanon Valley College softball team has been selected for the NCAA Tournament as an at-large bid and will travel to Ithaca, N.Y. for the Regional. The Dutchmen will take on Polytechnic Institute of NYU on Thursday, May 13 at 2 p.m. LVC is the regional's third seed, while Polytechnic is the sixth seed.

The eight-team regional is a double-elimination setup, with the winner going to the NCAA Finals on May 21-25 at Carson Park in Eau Claire, Wis.

The winner of the LVC/Polytechnic game will meet the winner of Dickinson/Ithaca on Friday at 4 p.m. The losers of each of those match-ups will meet on Friday at noon.

Nationally-ranked Lebanon Valley has never played Polytechnic before. The Lady Jays posted a 31-9 record this season and finished with a 13-1 record in the Skyline Conference, capturing their first-ever conference title. 

The Dutchmen are making their second appearance in the NCAA tournament. LVC last appeared in the tournament in 2008, falling to DeSales and Defiance at the Regional in Ithaca, N.Y. 

LVC has met Dickinson and King's before, but have yet to face any of the other five teams in the bracket. The Dutchmen went 4-8 against NCAA qualifiers this season, sweeping Moravian and tallying a win against Messiah and Susquehanna.
