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

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 after the Sooners tied it 2-2 in the top of the seventh on a home run with two outs and an 0-2 count

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.
