The NCAA Women’s College World Series championship series gets underway Wednesday night (June 8) as defending champion Oklahoma squares off against unseeded Texas. The No. 1 Sooners are heavy favorites — DraftKings has them at -600 for Game 1 against arch-rival Texas — and enter the three game series as the queens of the softball diamond for the 2022 season. Oklahoma lost just two regular season games and entered the postseason with a blistering 59-2 record.
In the NCAA tournament so far, the Sooners have dropped just one game as Maya Brady powered UCLA to a victory, forcing a decisive rematch for a spot in the final series. Oklahoma left no doubt, run-ruling the Bruins in a five-inning, 15-0 rout.
Jocelyn Alo leads an OU team looking to go back-to-back as champs and win the program’s fourth softball title in six seasons. Alo is one of three Sooners with over 20 home runs as well as one of three with a batting average over .400.
