FSU softball starts ACC Softball Championship with 1st-round bye

The bracket is set for the ACC Softball Championship. The conference tournament will begin on Wednesday at the Duke Softball Stadium.

Florida State softball (41-13, 19-5) will hold the No. 2 seed and will have a first-round bye. The Seminoles will take the field on Thursday at 5 p.m., facing either No. 7 North Carolina or No. 10 Notre Dame.

Duke holds the top seed and home-field advantage throughout the tournament. FSU had a chance to secure at least a share of the ACC regular season title but lost two of the three games at Syracuse.

Here is the rest of the ACC championship schedule:
