Oklahoma Softball Caps Off Historic Season With Women’s College World Series Title

Oklahoma’s record-setting undefeated streak will continue into next season following Thursday’s Game 2 win over Florida State to secure the program’s third-straight national championship.

Winners of their last 52-straight games, the Sooners (61–1) defeated the Seminoles (58–11), 3–1, to sweep the Women’s College World Series. The victory extended OU’s 109-day, record-breaking winning streak to 53 games, and made OU the second program in NCAA history to three-peat as national champions, joining UCLA, who accomplished the feat from 1988 to ’90.

The 2023 title marks Oklahoma’s seventh national championship under longtime coach Patty Gasso, and the program’s sixth in the last 10 years. With the win now in the books, Gasso will conclude her 29th season with the winningest campaign in NCAA history, and a combined 176–8 mark over the last three seasons.
