Arkansas secured the No. 4 seed for the second time in Sunday, tied for the highest mark in school history.

The chase for the elusive first birth to the Women's College World Series will go through Fayetteville.

This is the eighth straight season that the Razorbacks have made the NCAA Tournament under coach Courtney Deifel.

The first step is to win a home regional, something that has eluded the team over the past two seasons, being bounced from the tournament without making the regional final.

The Hogs have made all three of its Super Regional appearances under Deifel (2018, 2021, 2022), but have lost each time and gone 1-6 in seven games.

Here are quick breakdowns of each team heading to Bogle Park.

No. 1 Arkansas (40-12, 14-10 SEC):

No. 2 Oklahoma State (33-18, 13-9 Big 12):

No. 3 Indiana (33-18, 10-12 Big 10)

No. 4 Saint Louis (34-22, 18-7 Atlantic 10):
