Despite stumbling late in the championship game of the ACC Tournament on Saturday, the FSU softball team still locked up a top-eight seed for the NCAA Tournament.

The Seminoles, who will host an NCAA Regional later this week, were tabbed as the No. 5 national seed when the field was announced on Sunday evening.

FSU, which is 46-9 on the season, will host Auburn, USF and Robert Morris in a four-team Regional.

Here is more from the release from FSU Sports Information:

The Seminoles will play Robert Morris at 2:30 p.m. on Friday on the ACC Network. USF and Auburn will face off at noon on Friday on ESPNU. 
 
FSU will be hosting a regional for the 11th consecutive season. FSU is one of four schools (FSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, UCLA) to host a regional in each of the last 11 seasons. 
 
The Seminoles earned a top 8 seed for the eighth time under Head Coach Lonni Alameda and for the seventh time in the last nine seasons. FSU is 20-3 in regionals under Coach Alameda when they are a top 8 seed.

If the Seminoles advance, the super regional will take place at JoAnne Graf Field against the winner of the Lubbock Regional hosted by No. 12 Texas Tech. 
 
A limited number of tickets will be available for purchase starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 12. Please visit Seminoles.com/tickets to purchase tickets. Fans can also contact the FSU Ticket Office at 850-644-1830 or via email at [email protected].
