NCAA softball bracket, semifinal scores, schedule

For the third time in four years, Texas softball has made it to the Women’s College World Series finals.

The Longhorns will play superstar NiJaree Canady and No. 12 Texas Tech, who upset No. 2 Oklahoma 3-2 on Monday night in walk-off fashion.

Texas advanced with a 2-0 win over Tennessee Monday afternoon, with Mac Morgan and Teagan Kavan throwing a combined gem against the Vols. Karlyn Pickens went the distance for Tennessee, but a solo home run and an insurance run off an error later proved to be the difference.

The Red Raiders, who hosted and won a regional for the first time in program history this season, ended Oklahoma’s national championship streak at four, with the Sooners also missing out on a national title berth for the first time since 2018.
