2025 NCAA Softball Tournament Bracket: Updated Super Regional matchups, scores, schedule

The Super Regionals are underway during the 2025 NCAA Tournament following an action-packed Regional weekend. Now, each team are two wins away from qualifying for the 2025 Women’s College World Series.

Matchups in the 2025 NCAA Softball Super Regionals kicked off with two top-16 matchups on Thursday. That includes the Tallahassee Super Regional between Florida State and Texas Tech, as well as the Austin Super Regional between Texas and Clemson. After that, the six other series will begin on Friday.

The second stage of the tournament will feature eight best of three series between the Regional champions crowned last weekend. These matchups will begin play on May 22 and conclude on May 26, if a game three is necessary. The winners of these two cities will meet for the NCAA Championships in Oklahoma City at the WCWS later this month. Here’s how those series shape up:

Eugene Super Regional: No. 16 Oregon def. Liberty

Game 1: Oregon def. Liberty, 3-2

A pair of controversial calls on an Oregon runner leaving base early had a dramatic effect on the game, wiping an early Ducks run off the board and setting the tone in a Super Regional contest against Liberty. The Ducks managed to battle through anyway, rallying in front of the home crowd for an extra innings win. Kedre Luschar started the bottom of the eighth inning with a single up the middle, then she stole second. She advanced to third on a sacrifice fly. Finally, Dezianna Patmon singled through to center field to score Luschar and give Oregon the walk-off win.

Game 2: Oregon def. Liberty, 13-1

Oregon’s pitching mowed through Liberty for most of the afternoon, following a home run that opened the scoring in the bottom of the first inning. The Ducks bats did everything they needed to provide ample cover. Emma Cox ripped a three-run home run in the fifth inning to really blow the game open. Pitcher Lyndsey Grein was the story of the game, though, going the complete game and allowing just one run on three hits. She struck out 10, helping send Oregon to the Women’s College World Series.

Norman Super Regional: No. 2 Oklahoma def. No. 15 Alabama

Game 1: Oklahoma def. Alabama, 3-0

Oklahoma continued to be a buzzsaw in postseason play, winning its 17th straight game in the Super Regionals on Friday against Alabama. The Sooners took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning with a Kasidi Pickering two-run home run. That was all that was needed, though Oklahoma would tack on another run to make it 3-0 in the bottom of the fifth. Pitcher Sam Landry went seven innings and gave up just four hits, striking out five in the process.

Game 2: Oklahoma def. Alabama, 13-2

Oklahoma blew the game open with an eight-run top of the third inning and Alabama never was able to get back into the game, despite a decent attempt late. The Crimson Tide knocked a couple solo home runs in during the third and fourth inning, but the Sooners blasted three of their own in the top of the fifth inning to stretch the lead out to 13-2. That was enough to run-rule the contest, sending Oklahoma to the Women’s College World Series.

Gainesville Super Regional: No. 3 Florida def. Georgia

Game 1: Florida def. Georgia, 6-1

The third-ranked Gators jumped ahead with a 3-run first inning and never looked back as Florida starter Keagan Rothrock allowed just two hits with seven strikeouts in the complete-game effort Friday. Gators senior Reagan Walsh started things off with a three-run home run in the bottom of the first while Ava Brown went 2-fof-4 at the plate with a two-run home run in a three-run fifth inning.

Game 2: Georgia def. Florida, 2-1

Facing elimination, Georgia held Florida scoreless through the first four innings of play. The Gators cut the lead in half on a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded from Korbe Otis in the fifth. The Bulldogs would take a one run lead into the seventh inning. Florida put two runners on base, forcing Georgia starting pitcher Lillie Backes out of the game with two outs remaining. Randi Roelling who relieve her, and would shut down the Gators in four pitches to end the game. The series is tied at one a piece, forcing a Game 3 on Sunday.

Game 3: Florida def. Georgia, 5-0

Florida opened the scoring in the bottom of the first inning, but for a hot minute it seemed the issues driving in runners from Game 2 might recur. Then the bottom of the fifth inning happened. With two outs, Florida smacked a pair of two-run homers to open up a 5-0 lead. Georgia clawed two back with a home run from Jaydyn Goodwin in the seventh inning, but the rally ran out of steam and the Bulldogs ultimately fell 5-2.

Fayetteville Super Regional: Ole Miss def. No. 4 Arkansas

Game 1: Ole Miss def Arkansas, 9-7

The battle between Arkansas and Ole Miss started off fierce, with the Razorbacks scoring three in the bottom of the first to take a two-run lead over the Rebels. However, Ole Miss would chip away at Arkansas over the next couple of innings, scoring twice in the second inning, four times in the third and plating two more runs in the fifth. The Razorbacks made it interesting, loading the bases in the ninth before falling victim to the Rebels as Kailey Wyckoff hit a potential walk-off homer to the warning track. Ashton Lansdell led the way with three RBIs for Ole Miss in the dub.

Game 2: Arkansas def. Ole Miss, 4-0

The Razorbacks live to fight another day after rallying to force a Game 3 of Super Regionals in Fayetteville. They wasted no time getting the scoring started with a pair of runs in the opening inning and never looked back on its way to the shutout. A throwing error in the fifth allowed two more runs to score to provide some insurance. The defense was stifling behind pitcher Payton Burnham, who had seven strikeout, including one in the final inning. The teams play again Sunday in a winner-take-all with a trip to Oklahoma City on the line.

Game 3: Ole Miss def. Arkansas, 7-4

The Rebels are headed to Oklahoma City for the first ever trip to the Women’s College World Series after winning in Game 3 of Super Regionals against the Razorbacks on Sunday. Ole Miss started the game off hot with a two-run homer from Lair Beautae that scored the first runs and led 4-0 after the opening inning. Arkansas quickly fought back through, managing one run in the bottom of the first and then another three in the second to tie things back up. Ole Miss again pulled ahead after a sacrifice fly from Jaden Pone brought home a run in the fourth. It added another in the fifth off of a single from Mackenzie Pickens and an ensuing throwing error to make it 6-4 and force a Razorbacks pitching change. Although Arkansas got out of that inning without giving up another run, it went three up, three down in the fifth and sixth innings. That proved costly as Lexie Brady homered in the seventh for Ole Miss to increase the lead to 7-4 entering the bottom of the seventh, where the Rebels defense closed things out.

Tallahassee Super Regional: No. 12 Texas Tech def. No. 5 Florida State

Game 1: Texas Tech def. Florida State, 3-0

Texas Tech took a 1-0 series lead over the Super Regional host Florida State on Thursday night, officially kicking off the second stage of the 2025 NCAA Softball Tournament.

Game 2: Texas Tech def. Florida State, 2-1

Texas Tech took the early lead in the contest by plating a run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning. Then it mostly cruised as pitcher NiJaree Canady was aces. The Red Raiders added a second run to make it 2-0 in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Seminoles attempted a late rally in the top of the seventh inning, getting the tying run all the way to third base and scratching one back to make it 2-1. But Canady closed the door on the Super Regionals for the Seminoles, pushing the Red Raiders through to Oklahoma City and the Women’s College World Series.

Austin Super Regional: No. 6 Texas def. Clemson

Game 1: Clemson def. No. 6 Texas, 7-4

Thursday’s opening matchup in the Austin Regional got through four pitches before a weather delay halted play for nearly two hours. Clemson would go on to score its runs in bunches, racking up three runs in the third and four more in the sixth inning. Texas, who allowed seven runs for just the seventh time in. single game this season, was able to make up two of those runs in the bottom of the seventh, but still trailed by three runs heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. The Tigers would hold the Super Regional hosts at bay, taking Game 1 and control of the series.

Game 2: Texas def. Clemson, 7-5

Clemson and Texas provided a riveting bit of action on Friday in the early innings, battling back and forth and ultimately ending up knotted at 5-5. It stayed there for a while. The teams went to extra innings and it wasn’t until the 10th inning that Texas finally broke the deadlock. With a series of hits, the Longhorns plated two runs in the inning. And pitcher Teagan Kavan did the rest, going 5.2 innings and allowing no runs on five hits. She struck out seven, helping keep the Longhorns alive in the Austin Super Regional.

Game 3: Texas def. Clemson, 6-5

Texas struck early and often in a winner-take-all game against Clemson in the Austin Super Regional. The Longhorns plated three runs in the second inning and two in the third inning, opening up a 5-1 lead. The Tigers threatened, scoring two runs and chasing starting pitcher Teagan Kavan from the game in the fourth inning. A two-run homer in the seventh inning cut the deficit to 6-5, but the Clemson rally ran out of steam. So Texas two-steps its way on to Oklahoma City.

Knoxville Super Regional: No. 7 Tennessee def. Nebraska

Game 1: Nebraska def. Tennessee, 5-2

Nebraska knew it could lean on superstar Jordy Bahl, and that’s exactly what the Cornhuskers did, playing on the road at Tennessee. Bahl was electric, scoring in the top of the third, then helping plate two runs with an infield knock to shortstop in the fourth. Nebraska cooked up a 5-2 lead as a result. Bahl did the rest on the mount, going the distance and giving up just two runs on seven hits in the contest. She struck out six.

Game 2: Tennessee def. Nebraska, 3-2

It was a nervy game, with nobody able to break free and clear through the heart of the game. Tennessee did just enough to survive and advance to a winner-take-all game in the Knoxville Super Regional. Second baseman Ella Dodge hit a two-run homer in the first inning, then the Volunteers took the 3-2 lead on a McKenna Gibson sacrifice fly in the top of third. Pitcher Karlyn Pickens did the rest, going the complete game and allowing only five hits in the contest. She struck out 11.

Game 3: Tennessee def. Nebraska, 1-0

After falling behind 1-0 in the series, Tennessee won two straight games to secure a spot in the Women’s College World Series.
