The stage is set for the 2023 Women’s College World Series (WCWS) and eight teams advanced. All eight teams will be in action Thursday at OGE Energy Field at the USA Softball Hall of Fame Complex in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The No. 1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners are looking to defend their 2022 national title while No. 15 Utah is advancing to the WCWS for the first time since 1994. All games will be broadcast on ESPN.
The WCWS is a double-elimination format and the final two teams play a best-of-three series for the national championship beginning June 7. The tournament runs from June 1 – June 9, if necessary.
The race to the WCWS started with 64 teams and was slowly whittled down to just the Elite 8.
Here are the eight teams left in the tournament, all times in ET.
