OKLAHOMA CITY — The Women’s College World Series finals kick off Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. It’s a classic example of David vs. Goliath: The best-of-three contest will pit Texas, the first unseeded team ever to make it to the championship series, against No. 1 Oklahoma, perhaps the most dominant team in the history of the sport.
The Sooners (57–3) are defending champs in search of their sixth title under coach Patty Gasso. The Longhorns (47–20) are looking to play spoiler in their first-ever trip to the championship. But don’t be fooled into thinking the outcome here is necessarily obvious. The first of those three losses for Oklahoma? Yep—it was Texas. To face off against the Sooners will be an enormous challenge for the Longhorns (as would be the case for any team). But they’ve proven they can beat them once.
