Four Teams Advance to Women's College World Series

The Women's College World Series (WCWS) field is taking shape as teams secure their spots through NCAA softball super regionals. Texas Tech, a 12-seed making its first WCWS appearance, upset No. 5 Florida State thanks to standout performances by transfer NiJaree Canady. Defending champions Oklahoma, a seven-time NCAA champion, swept Alabama with a dominant 13-2 victory, advancing to their ninth consecutive WCWS, highlighted by strong offensive displays including a home run from Nelly McEnroe-Marinas. Oregon also secured a return to the WCWS for the first time since 2018 by defeating Liberty decisively, with significant contributions from the Luschar sisters who led the team offensively. Texas held on to win a Game 3 against Clemson, making their second consecutive WCWS appearance. The Ducks will face the winner of UCLA and South Carolina in the opening round, while Oklahoma continues to be a powerhouse with a strong chance at another title.
