The No. 5 seed Missouri softball team will host the NCAA Super Regional round, as they welcome the 12th seeded Washington Huskies to Columbia, Mo., with a Women's College World Series bid on the line. 

Game one will begin Saturday at 8 p.m. CT, with game two beginning at 6 p.m. on Sunday. 

Game three, if necessary, will be held at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday night. 

All games will be simulcast on ESPN2 HD and ESPN3.com. Justin Kutcher and Amanda Scarborough will have the call.

This marks the second time in program history that the Tigers have hosted an NCAA Super Regional at University Field.

Last season, Mizzou toppled Oregon in two games at home to advance to the WCWS. 

 Missouri is 12-1 since 2008 in home postseason contests.

This is the fourth straight year - and fourth time in program history - that Missouri has competed in the NCAA Super Regionals with a shot at advancing to the World Series. 

 It's also the 15th time in program history, sixth time in the last seven years and fifth consecutive year that the Missouri softball team has been selected to participate in the 64-team NCAA Tournament.
