MARYVILLE, Mo. – The Northwest Missouri State softball team earned the No. 7 seed in the upcoming MIAA Softball Tournament as announced by the league office Sunday evening.

Emporia State earned the 2012 MIAA Regular Season Championship with a perfect 20-0 conference record and will be the top seed in the upcoming MIAA Centennial Softball Tournament.

 Missouri Western will be the No. 2 seed after posting an 18-2 league record, while Fort Hays State is the No. 3 seed with a 13-7 conference mark.

Central Missouri will be the No. 4 seed with a 9-11 MIAA record, as the Jennies hold the tiebreaker over No. 5 seed Washburn, which also posted a 9-11 conference record.
