2026 WHAC Softball Tournament Details
The field is set and action in the 2026 Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) softball tournament will get underway on Friday, April 24th. New this year, the format for the tournament will feature two four-team double-elimination pods, hosted by the top two seeds based on regular season finish. Madonna will host #4 UNOH, #5 Cornerstone and #8 Aquinas in Livonia while Indiana Tech welcomes #3 Lawrence Tech, #6 UM-Dearborn and #7 Lourdes to Fort Wayne.
The winner from each pod will faceoff in the championship series, hosted by the highest remaining seed, May 1-2. The best-of-three series will feature a Friday, May 1 double header.
