As the Oklahoma Sooners look to complete their run at back-to-back national championships against the Texas Longhorns, here’s how you can tune into the action.

The stage is set and the Oklahoma Sooners will take on the Texas Longhorns in the championship series of the Women’s College World Series. Both teams were forced to play two games on Monday to advance.

The Sooners lost their first game to UCLA, forcing a winner-take-all matchup and Oklahoma responded with a 15-0 win to make their third-straight WCWS championship.

Playing out of the loser’s bracket, the Longhorns had to beat the Oklahoma State Cowgirls on Monday and did just that. They got a 5-0 win in the first game of the day and then paired a couple of three-run innings together late in the game to overcome a 5-0 deficit to move on to face the defending national champion Oklahoma Sooners.

No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners vs. UCLA Bruins: How to watch, stream, listen, and key players for WCWS

The Oklahoma Sooners continue their journey in the Women’s College World Series against the UCLA Bruins here’s, how you can tune in.

The Women’s College World Series doesn’t get bigger than this. On Monday, two blue blood programs in the world of college softball will meet head to head for the right to go to the WCWS championship.

UCLA, the team with the most national championships all-time (12) will face off with Oklahoma, who has the third most national championships all-time (5).

The Sooners come into the WCWS semi-finals after beating Northwestern and Texas. UCLA dropped their first game of the Women’s College World Series to Texas 7-2 and then bounced back with wins over Northwestern and Florida. In those two wins for the Bruins, they outscored their opponents 14-1.

The Sooners and the Bruins met back in the first week of the season, a 4-1 win for the Oklahoma Sooners. In that pivotal nonconference matchup, Jordy Bahl announced her arrival to the softball world by holding the Bruins to one unearned run on four hits and she struck out 14 batters.

Oklahoma’s offense continues to put up numbers at a ridiculous pace. They’ve outscored opponents 72-7 in the NCAA tournament, averaging 10.28 runs scored per game.

This is an incredible matchup and the stakes are huge. Oklahoma needs one more win to set up an all-Big 12 championship series. UCLA has to beat the Sooners twice to advance and spoil the party.

No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners vs. Texas Longhorns: How to watch, stream, listen, and key players for WCWS

The Oklahoma Sooners continue their journey in the Women’s College World Series against Texas Longhorns here’s how you can tune in.

The Oklahoma Sooners get a chance at redemption in the winner’s bracket of the Women’s College World Series. Their next matchup against the Texas Longhorns provides an opportunity for the Sooners to play the team that handed OU their first loss of the season a few months back.

Though it’s just another game, a game against a rival that beat you earlier in the season will carry some extra weight.

In that mid-April loss, Jordy Bahl was outdueled by Hailey Dolcini in the Longhorns’ 4-2 win to snap Oklahoma’s record-setting winning streak to start the 2022 season.

In that loss, Tiare Jennings, Jocelyn Alo, and Grace Lyons combined to go 0-9 with two strikeouts. The Sooners’ only two hits in the game came in the seventh with Oklahoma trailing 4-0. Jayda Coleman singled and Kinzie Hansen homered to cut the lead to 4-2. Dolcini bounced back and shut the Sooners’ rally down before it could really get going.

But that was nearly two months ago and the Sooners are playing great since the start of the NCAA tournament. Women on a mission, the Sooners have outscored opponents 65-5 since the start of the tournament.

As they look to stay unbeaten in the postseason, they’ll have to beat a Texas team that comes in with the confidence that they can beat Oklahoma, cause they did it earlier this year.

As Oklahoma gets set to take on the Texas Longhorns, here’s how you can tune in for the [autotag]Women’s College World Series[/autotag] opener.

No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners vs. No. 10 Northwestern: How to watch, stream, listen, and key players for WCWS

The Oklahoma Sooners open up the Women’s College World Series against No. 10 Northwestern on Thursday, here’s how you can tune in.

Despite being the No. 1 team in the country, the Oklahoma Sooners won’t get the opportunity to ease into the Women’s College World Series as they get set to take on No. 10 Northwestern (the No. 9 seed in the tournament), who outlasted Arizona State on Sunday night to win their Super Regional matchup.

Northwestern brings to Oklahoma City one of the best pitchers in the country in Danielle Williams who’s gone 31-4 this season with a 1.86 ERA. She’s struckout 323 batters in 241 innings pitched for the Wildcats and was a top 10 finalist for National Player of the Year.

The Wildcats lineup also boasts five players hitting better than .300 on the year, led by Rachel Lewis. Lewis has 22 home runs, 61 RBIs, and 26 stolen bases on the season.

Looking to repeat as national champions, the Oklahoma Sooners boast an incredible lineup of their own with nine players hitting better than .300 and three players hitting better than .400 on the season. The Sooners also boast a ton of power with Jocelyn Aloa, Tiare Jennings, and Grace Lyons each surpassing the 20-homer mark in 2022.

Alo is on the verge of her third 30 home run season and has a chance to leave the all-time home run record at more than 120 for her career.

The big question facing the Sooners is the status of Jordy Bahl. Bahl has been held out for the last several weeks as she recovers from what was described as soreness. In her absence, Hope Trautwein and Nicole May have been fantastic, leading the Sooners to an unbeaten mark in NCAA tournament play.

Best photos of the Oklahoma Sooners WCWS-clinching 7-1 win over UCF

Check out the best photos from Oklahoma’s incredible WCWS-clinching win over the UCF Golden Knights on Saturday.

Everything’s gone right for Oklahoma Sooners since the start of the NCAA tournament. With their 7-1 win over the UCF Golden Knights, the Sooners clinched their sixth-straight appearance to the Women’s College World Series and their 12th overall.

They’ve outscored opponents 52-3 in five games.

On Saturday afternoon in a packed Marita Hynes Field, the Sooners were once again phenomenal. [autotag]Nicole May[/autotag] threw a complete game, allowing just one earned run on three hits while striking out four. She only allowed five baserunners all game and continued to reward Patty Gasso’s faith in the Sooners’ pitching staff minus Jordy Bahl.

[autotag]Jocelyn Alo[/autotag] closed out her final appearance at Martia Hynes field in the same way she made her first home plate appearance in Norman; with a dinger. The reigning, defending National Player of the Year (in Bruce Buffer of the UFC voice), hit the 116th home run of her illustrious career and the 29th of the season.

Not to be outdone, [autotag]Grace Lyons[/autotag] joined the 20-homer club, mashing two homers and picking up four RBIs, which would ultimately be the difference in the game.

At this point, the Sooners will be joined by Arizona, Texas, Northwestern, Oklahoma State, and Oregon State. Those six await the winner of the Duke vs. UCLA Super Regional. Heading into their matchup on Saturday night, UCLA holds a 1-0 series lead. The other Super Regional still to be decided features Florida and Virginia Tech.

Florida is the only team remaining from the SEC with a chance to make the Women’s College World Series after the other eight teams to qualify for the NCAA tournament have been eliminated. The Gators and the Hokies are tied at one game a piece with the deciding game to come on Sunday.

But as the Super Regionals wrap up and give way to the Women’s College World Series, let’s take a look back at the Sooners dominant victory over UCF through these fantastic still photos.

Sooners advance to Women’s College World Series with 7-1 win over UCF

With four home runs, including two by Grace Lyons, the Oklahoma Sooners advanced to the Women’s College World Series with a 7-1 win vs. UCF.

For the second day, the Sooners opened their Super Regional matchup with UCF with a run in the first inning and then exploded in the middle frames to pick up the win.

With their 7-1 win over the Knights, the Sooners advance to the Women’s College World Series for the sixth straight year and 12th time in program history.

Nicole May pitched seven innings, picking up the complete-game win and the Sooners got four home runs Grace Lyons, who hit two, Jocelyn Alo, and Jana Johns.

Alo’s home run put a perfect stamp on a storied career. In what would be her final at-bat at Marita Hynes Field, the reigning National Player of the Year closed her career at home the way she started it, clearing the Marita Hynes fences.

After rounding the bases, Sooners fans continued standing, offering the OU legend a lengthy ovation. Alo answered the curtain call, waving to Sooner Nation to show her appreciation in her final game at home.

Jocelyn Alo put an exclamation point on a fantastic career in Norman as the Sooners continue their national title pursuit in the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.

Though the 2022 season has been much about Jocelyn Alo’s last ride with the Sooners, Grace Lyons continues to be the biggest revelation of the year. Her two home runs and four RBIs proved to be the difference in the ball game.

Lyons now has 21 home runs on the season, joining Alo and Tiare Jennings to form the only trio in the nation with 20 or more home runs in 2022. Arkansas is the only other team that can boast multiple players in the 20-homer club.

May’s day started out rocky as she was forced to work around base runners in the early going before settling in to control the UCF lineup while the Sooners’ bats struggled to push runners around to home plate.

May and Hope Trautwein have been clutch for the Oklahoma Sooners since the Big 12 tournament, allowing Patty Gasso to rest Jordy Bahl. As the Sooners get ready for the College World Series, Bahl will have had three weeks of rest to recover from the soreness that’s kept her out.

It’s truly been a team performance for the Sooners who improved to 54-2 on the season and have allowed just three runs in NCAA tournament play, outscoring their opponents 52-3 this postseason. As they await the remainder of the Super Regional results, Oklahoma knows that Big 12 foes Texas and Oklahoma State will be joining them in Oklahoma City. The Longhorns and the Cowgirls are the only teams to get a win over the Sooners, though Oklahoma won the season series against the talented rivals.

Looking for information on where to find the Super Regional matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners and UCF, we’ve got you covered.

The Oklahoma Sooners are looking to punch their ticket to the College World Series on Saturday in the second matchup with the UCF Golden Knights.

Hope Trautwein threw her second no-hitter of the season and Jocelyn Alo hit the 116th home run of her career to take a 1-0 series lead in their Super Regional Matchup.

As Oklahoma looks to close out the Golden Knights, they’ll likely send Nicole May to the circle in hopes of giving Jordy Bahl more time to recover from the soreness she was experiencing to close out the Big 12 season.

5 takeaways from the Oklahoma Sooners 3-0 weekend in the Norman Regional

The Oklahoma Sooners were excellent in their three-game sweep in the Norman regional and here are five takeaways from the weekend.

The Oklahoma Sooners have made a habit of advancing to the super regionals of the NCAA tournament. This will be their 12th straight appearance when they take on the UCF Knights in Norman next weekend.

The Sooners were incredible in their three games against Prairie View A&M and Texas A&M, outscoring their opponents 37-2 in the three games, which included two run-rule victories and two shutouts.

The only blemish to what could have been a perfect weekend was a two-run home run in the sixth inning from Aggies star catcher Haley Lee that brought the game within one. But Hope Trautwein provided little hope after that and kept the Aggies at bay to pick up the win on Saturday.

Marita Hynes Field was rocking once again as the Sooners put on a show all weekend in front of the home crowd. Before setting the stage for the Sooners showdown with UCF, let’s take a look at five takeaways from Oklahoma’s incredible weekend in the Norman regional.

Best photos from the Sooners Softball sweep in the Norman Regional of the NCAA Tournament

Take a look back at the Oklahoma Sooners’ dominating performance during the Norman Regional.

The Oklahoma Sooners went 3-0 in the Norman Regional, outscoring their opponents 37-2 in the three games. They secured run-rule wins over Prairie View A&M and Texas A&M to bookend the weekend by a combined score of 34-0.

The only game that was close was the narrow 3-2 win over the Aggies on Saturday.

The win 20-0 win over Texas A&M on Sunday put the Sooners into the Super Regionals for the 12th-straight year. They’ll take on the University of Central Florida, who also went 3-0 with wins over Villanova and Michigan (twice) to advance in the NCAA tournament.

The Sooners pitching duo of [autotag]Nicole May[/autotag] and [autotag]Hope Trautwein[/autotag] were fantastic without freshman phenom Jordy Bahl available for the weekend. May and Trautwein pitched 16.1 innings for the Sooners this weekend and went 3-0.

Jocelyn Alo continues to display why she’s the best player in softball as she went 6-for-7 with two home runs and six RBIs over the weekend. Jayda Coleman was phenomenal at the top of the order for Oklahoma. Coleman went 6-for-9 with a home run and five RBIs and also reached base two more times via walk. Tiare Jennings and Alyssa Brito were also fantastic as the Sooners got contributions up and down the lineup all weekend.

Take a look back at some of the best photos from the Sooners’ phenomenal weekend in Norman.

Oklahoma Sooners advance to Super Regionals with 20-0 win over Texas A&M

After the largest win in NCAA Softball Tournament history, the Sooners will move on to Super Regionals for the 12th straight-year with their 20-0 win over Texas A&M.

For the 15th time in program history and for the 12th year in a row, the Oklahoma Sooners are going to the Super Regionals after beating Texas A&M 20-0. This was the largest win in NCAA Softball Tournament history.

On Saturday, the Aggie pitching did enough to keep the Sooners’ bats uncomfortable and A&M made the game close on a late two-run home run. On Sunday, it was a completely different story in the Sooners dominating win over the Aggies.

The Sooners scored 20 runs on 12 hits, and four walks and were aided by four errors from the Aggie defense. After an emotional win Saturday evening over Minnesota, it seemed like the Aggies were just out of gas in the regional final.

[autotag]Nicole May[/autotag] was nearly unhittable as she struck out seven Aggies and allowed just two hits through 4.1 innings. [autotag]Macy McAdoo[/autotag] came in to finish the job in the fifth inning to claim yet another run-rule victory for the Sooners.

Oklahoma got it going with a nine-run first inning where the Sooners sent 14 batters to the plate. Texas A&M had three errors in the inning, but Oklahoma had five hits, a walk, and a hit by pitch to reach base. The frame included a [autotag]Jocelyn Alo[/autotag] home run and doubles by [autotag]Lynnsie Elam[/autotag] and [autotag]Jana Johns[/autotag] to put the game out of reach before the Aggies ever stepped into the batters box.

The Sooners scored every time they took their turn to bat and scored at least three runs in each inning except the second.

Alo was 3-for-3 with three runs scored and three RBIs. [autotag]Alyssa Brito[/autotag] and [autotag]Tiare Jennings[/autotag] added home runs of their own as the Sooners. Seven Sooners notched RBIs led by Britto’s four runs batted in.

OU’s opponent in Super Regionals will be Central Florida after the Knights defeated the Michigan Wolverines in their regional final. UCF was the host as the No. 16 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Super Regionals will run from May 26-29. The Sooners will host UCF for a best-of-three series. The winner will go to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series.
