Can Oklahoma make history and become the first team in a softball program to score four points, or will someone dethrone the Sooners?
The road to the Women’s College World Series 2024 has officially begun. For the first time since 2018, the University of Oklahoma did not earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Softball Tournament. Instead, regional play begins with Austin and No. 1 Texas. The Sooners are in second place.
Virginia defeated the RedHawks 7-0 on Friday, cooling off a heated game in Miami (Ohio). Elsewhere, No. 11 Georgia and No. 13 Louisiana both showed their mettle for big wins in just five innings.
They continue to analyze each region and provide schedule updates, results, and information on how to follow the NCAA Tournament.
