The Broncos defeated Arizona 9-3 late Saturday. The game began at 8:06 p.m., six hours after it was originally scheduled to begin.

The regional championship will be played Monday at a time to be determined. If a second game is needed Monday, it will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first regional championship game.
Members of Arizona's and Santa Clara's teams were in a holding pattern for several hours as thunderstorms persisted Saturday in Fayetteville. Storms began late morning and ended close to 5 p.m.
The Arizona-Santa Clara game was originally scheduled for Saturday at 2 p.m. The gates at the stadium opened briefly at 3:30 p.m. to allow entry for that game, but were closed again a short time later due to heavy rain and lightning in the area.
The extended delay for the Arizona-Santa Clara game made the second scheduled game between the Razorbacks and the Horned Frogs impossible to play Saturday. The game did not end until 11:17 p.m.
According to the NCAA host operations manual, regional games must begin by 11 p.m. and a 55-minute wait is mandated between games.
