The Louisville softball team heads to South Bend, Indiana, on Wednesday looking to cap off a historic season in the ACC with a conference championship.

The Cardinals (35-17, 16-7 ACC) earned the No. 4 seed in the ACC tournament and begin postseason play at 1:30 p.m. Thursday (ACC Network) against fifth-seeded Virginia Tech at Notre Dame's Melissa Cook Stadium. With a win, U of L would advance to Friday's semifinal round, where it could face top-seeded Florida State, No. 8 Virginia or No. 9 Syracuse at 1 p.m.

In Year 5 under head coach Holly Aprile, Louisville's 16 ACC wins entering the postseason tied a record set in 2015, its inaugural campaign as a member of the conference.
