Believe it or not, Oklahoma has actually won the last four Women's College World Series outright, making Monday's elimination all the more shocking for softball fans around the world. Since there was not a WCWS in 2020, the last non-Oklahoma winner was 2019's UCLA. The Sooners have won every title in this decade.

After two runner-up finishes to Oklahoma in 2022 and 2024, the Longhorns finally captured an elusive first title.

Oklahoma’s run of four straight Women’s College World Series titles ended when Lauren Allred’s walk-off sacrifice fly gave Texas Tech a 3-2 victory in the semifinals.
