Coach Mike White and the Texas Longhorns finally overcame the Oklahoma softball dynasty, achieving their first victory over them in the Women’s College World Series (WCWS) with a 4-2 win. The Longhorns, after struggling in the latter part of the season, rallied to defeat the reigning champions, setting up a national title showdown against Texas Tech. The Red Raiders, featuring the standout player NiJaree Canady, also made history by reaching their first WCWS this season. The championship series promises to be an exciting culmination of a thrilling NCAA tournament.
Coach Mike White and Texas methodically laid a foundation, brick by brick, first getting to super regionals, then reaching the Women's College World Series championship series twice before falling to the Sooners both times.
With a rugged, experienced team that snapped out of a late-season funk at the last possible moment, the Longhorns took down Oklahoma for the first time ever in the WCWS.
Texas Tech, meanwhile, just went out and signed the best player in the country last summer. That worked, too. NiJaree Canady led the Red Raiders to their first WCWS this season.
A breathless and thrilling WCWS, one that has featured walk-off home runs, pitching duels, late-night extra-inning affairs, and, now, a fallen champion, will get the fitting ending it deserves.
