Again and again over the past decade, Oklahoma has proved it is right for the times in college softball. That isn’t nearly as easy as the Sooners make it look.

Florida State had a proven plan. But this time, Oklahoma had Jordy Bahl. In Game 1 of the championship series, that made all the difference.

Baffled by Stanford’s NiJaree Canady throughout the WCWS, Oklahoma All-American Tiare Jennings got one last chance to solve the riddle. She didn’t let it go to waste.

This time, Ashley Rogers got to pitch And pitch. And pitch. The ace’s complete game beat Oklahoma State and sent Tennessee to the WCWS semifinals.

Saturday was a tough day for freshmen starters. But in a WCWS full of freshmen in the circle, it may also have been a preview of how college softball will one day catch up to Oklahoma.

We’ve seen Montana Fouts be perfect on a Friday in Oklahoma City. In her final college start, she just wanted to give her team a chance.

Alana Vawter and NiJaree Canardy combined on a one-hitter to deliver Stanford its first WCWS win in 19 years and bring the Montana Fouts era in college softball to a close.

Jordy Bahl pitched in the WCWS as a freshman. But what we saw in Thursday’s opening game was the Oklahoma ace’s real WCWS debut.

Stanford freshman NiJaree Canady woke up the echoes of WCWS aces past in a stellar debut, but Jayda Coleman, Jordy Bahl and No. 1 Oklahoma ultimately made it a footnote on their march toward another title.

You don’t stay on top by staying the same. For Oklahoma and coach Patty Gasso, Jayda Coleman was the player and the personality that the Sooners needed to keep moving forward.

From Oklahoma chasing history to the role of transfers, fifth-year players and geography, all you need to know to prepare for the 2023 WCWS.

Montana Fouts had plenty of help this time, but Alabama’s ace said farewell to the Rhoads House by saying hello again to the Women’s College World Series.

Alabama’s Ashley Prange gave Montana Fouts a lead to protect, and the legend didn’t let it slip away. Now it’s one game for a trip to OKC.

Down to its final strike, Oklahoma rallied to win its record-breaking 48th consecutive game and return to the WCWS.

Two legendary aces started Friday’s game, but only Northwestern’s Danielle Williams made it to the finish line victorious. As she has more than any active pitcher in Division I.

Despite some sloppy moments, Oklahoma is a win away from the WCWS and a win away from setting a Division I record for the most consecutive wins.

Will Danielle Williams return to OKC or will Alabama understudy-turned-headliner Jaala Torrence rule the weekend?
