Last season, the Huskies dropped their first-ever game in the conference tournament to Indiana, and as they look to host an NCAA Regional for the first time since 2023, a run to the final in Maryland could go a long way towards building the momentum necessary for Tarr's young team to return to the Women's College World Series.
