Oklahoma softball finished 3-2 in the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic over the weekend to improve to 11-3 on the season.

The Sooners earned wins over Nebraska, Texas A&M, and Seattle University, but dropped a top-five matchup against second-ranked Washington and unranked Wisconsin.

Head coach Patty Gasso and her squad opened the weekend up with a run-rule victory over Nebraska, defeating the Cornhuskers in five innings.

In their second game on Friday, Oklahoma walked it off against the Aggies. In the bottom of the seventh inning Grace Green walked and stole second before Grace Lyons doubled to center to score Green for the 2-1 win.

Early Saturday, the Sooners beat Seattle 2-1, as Lyons and Jocelyn Alo both homered to score Oklahoma’s only two runs of the game.

No. 2 Washington jumped all over Oklahoma early, hitting three home runs in the first two innings to jump out to a 7-0 lead. The Sooners strung together four hits in the bottom of the fifth, but couldn’t get back in the game, dropping the contest 12-2.

On Sunday, the Sooners lost to Wisconsin 4-3. The Badgers jumped out to a 4-0 lead, and the Sooners couldn’t complete the comeback.

Brooke Vestal, Giselle Juarez, and Saile earned wins in the circle in the first three games. Juarez suffered her first loss of the season against Washington, and Saile took the loss on Sunday.

Oklahoma is back in action on Friday, Feb. 28 as they host Northwestern for their home-opener.
