DIVISION I TEAM PREVIEWS  |  DAY 1 OF 8  

MID AMERICA REGION!  

The University of Colorado entered the 2023 Mid America Regional Tournament as the #2 seed after a fantastic Regular Season. After defeating 2x Defending Regional Champion Nebraska in the opening round, the Buffs were knocked into the losers bracket after a tough loss to Iowa State in the Semi’s. They fought all the way back eliminating Nebraska & then double dipping Iowa State in the Championship to punch their ticket to the 2023 World Series.  Colorado went 1-2 to lock in a Top 6 finish on the year. 

Can Colorado defend their Regional Title? Who will get in their way?
