Oklahoma Sooners softball
The Oklahoma Sooners softball team represents the University of Oklahoma in NCAA Division I college softball. The team competes in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and plays its home games at Love's Field in Norman, Oklahoma. The Sooners are currently led by head coach Patty Gasso.
Oklahoma has won their conference title 17 times, and their conference tournament 10 times, winning the Big 12 Conference tournament 9 times and the SEC tournament once. They have been to the NCAA tournament 32 times, advanced to the NCAA Women's College World Series 18 times, and has won the NCAA championship 8 times. Oklahoma also appeared in the AIAW Women's College World Series 4 times.
The Sooners won their first national championship back in 2000. They swept Harvard, Cal-State Northridge, and Oregon State at their home regionals to advance to their first appearance in the Women's College World Series. They beat California and knocked off Southern Mississippi and Arizona to advance to the championship game against UCLA. They beat UCLA 3-1 to capture their first national title.
They hosted and won their 2013 regional. They beat Marist and Arkansas with a combined score of 41-6. They hosted again their super regionals against Texas A&M where they outscored the Aggies 18-2. In Oklahoma City, they went through 8 seeded Michigan, #10 ranked Texas, and #11 ranked Washington to reach Tennessee in the championship. Game 1 was where Lauren Chamberlain hit her iconic two-run walk-off home run after 12 innings of play. In game 2, Keilani Ricketts drove in all four runs, and Michelle Gascoigne pitched a shut out to obtain their second national title.
Once again, they hosted their regional in 2016 where they beat Wichita State and Ole Miss. They went on to host their super regional against Louisiana-Lafayette where they swept to advance to the Women's College World Series once again. In their first game in the tournament, they beat Alabama in extra innings. They faced #12 Michigan in game 2, and beat LSU in their third to face Auburn in the championship. They won 2-1 in their final game where Paige Parker threw a complete game.
In 2017, No. 10-seeded OU hosted North Dakota State, Arkansas and Tulsa in the Norman Regional. After opening play with a 3-2 loss to the Bison in nine innings, the Sooners rallied to defeat Arkansas, NDSU and Tulsa (twice) to advance to the Auburn Super Regional. In its first game against the Golden Hurricane, OU rallied from a 4-2 deficit with 10th-inning home runs by Caleigh Clifton and Sydney Romero to win 6-4 setting up a winner-take-all match-up the next day. The Sooners then dispatched Tulsa 3-0 to claim the regional title. Boosted by their resurgent play in the regional, OU defeated the Tigers 4-0 and 5-2 to advance to the WCWS. They began WCWS play with a 6-3 decision over Baylor followed by a 3-1 victory over Washington and a 4-2 defeat of Oregon to clinch a spot opposite top-seeded Florida in the Championship Series. In Game 1, OU outlasted the Gators 7-5 in a 17-inning marathon, the longest game ever played in WCWS Championship Series history. Shay Knighten's three-run, go-ahead homer in the top of the 17th provided the difference for the Sooners. Her bases-clearing, three-run double in the bottom of the second of Game 2 paced OU to a 5-4 victory earning the program its fourth national title and Knighten the WCWS' Most Outstanding Player honor.
In 2021, the Sooners hosted their regional as the No. 1 overall seed and beat Wichita State, Texas A&M, and Morgan State. They advanced to host their super regional against Washington, which they won in two games. At the Women's College World Series, they lost their first round game to James Madison University; subsequently, they won four straight elimination games to advance to the championship series, besting Georgia, UCLA, and James Madison twice. In the championship series, they lost their first game to Florida State, but returned to win games two and three to claim their fifth national championship.
In 2023, the Sooners set an NCAA Division I softball record 53-game winning streak. They finished the season with a 61–1 record and won their seventh national championship, and third consecutive championship. They became the first team to three-peat since UCLA from 1988 to 1990.
