The Red River Showdown resumes this weekend at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City and then heads to Marita Hynes Field in Norman for a renewal of one of the great rivalries in college softball.
The No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners play host to the No. 8/9 Texas Longhorns in what’s anticipated to be a capacity crowd.
A rematch of the 2022 Women’s College World Series, the showdown is getting the attention it deserves with the Saturday and Sunday games getting a bump from ESPN+ to ESPN2.
Gone are stars Jocelyn Alo and Janae Jefferson, but the series still has a ton of star power on both sides. Although for Texas, it takes on a bit of youth movement.
Juniors Jayda Coleman, Tiare Jennings, and Alyssa Brito lead the way offensively for the Sooners, while freshmen Leighanne Goode and Reese Atwood do a lot of the heavy lifting for the Longhorns.
It will be a fantastic series between the two sides, here’s what you need to know to get ready for the top 10 rivalry series.
