With the first two rounds in the books, it’s now on to Oklahoma City. The 2025 Women’s College World Series has arrived, and the eyes of the softball world turn toward Devon Park.

The SEC has a strong presence at the WCWS with five teams left in the bracket – four of which are on the same side. Oklahoma is the highest seed remaining, and the Sooners are making their ninth straight trip to OKC.

The 2025 Women’s College World Series includes a double elimination format before the championship series, which will be a best-of-three series. Here is the full bracket, including updated matchups and results from Devon Park.

Women’s College World Series Bracket

Thursday, May 29

Game 1: No. 6 Texas 3, No. 3 Florida 0

Joley Mitchell powered Texas past Florida in the opening game of the Women’s College World Series on Thursday afternoon. Mitchell hit a solo home run to left field in the top of the second inning to open the scoring, then blasted another solo home run to right center in the top of the sixth inning to double the lead. Katie Stewart tacked on another solo shot in the sixth to make it 3-0, as pitcher Teagan Kavan befuddled Florida all day. The Gators managed just two hits in the loss.

Game 2: No. 2 Oklahoma 4, No. 7 Tennessee 3

Tennessee might have been the better team on Thursday afternoon, but it had no answers for Ella Parker. Parker provided the lone run for the Sooners early on with a solo shot to right field, but Oklahoma found itself trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning. Then Parker came to the plate with runners at the corners and two outs. She wasted no time taking Volunteers ace Karlyn Pickens deep for a second time, sending the Sooners to the winner’s bracket in the Women’s College World Series with a walk-off 4-3 win.

Game 3: No. 12 Texas Tech 1, Ole Miss 0

After the first two games went off without a hitch, storms in the Oklahoma City area forced the start of this matchup to be pushed back by over an hour. When the two teams were able to come together following the delay, it was a battle between pitchers. Red Raiders were able to get on the board first in the fourth inning via a double from outfielder Alana Johnson as star pitcher NiJaree Canady carried a perfect game into the sixth inning. Despite breaking up the incredible start, Rebels were unable to find their way to home plate behind Canady’s commanding 10-strikeout performance.

Game 4: No. 9 UCLA 4, No. 16 Oregon 2

Oregon scored the first run of the game behind a Kedre Luschar RBI single in the third inning. Their lead would last less than two innings before UCLA’s Alexis Ramirez changed the game in a single swing. She belted a two-run home run to left field to give the Bruins the lead. Oregon would tie the game with one away in the seventh inning following an obstruction call on the Bruins. However, with one runner on base, Jessica Clements stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the seventh to win the game for UCLA.

Friday, May 30

Game 5: No. 7 Tennessee 11, No. 3 Florida 3

Tennessee kept its postseason hopes alive with a blowout 11-3 win over Florida on Friday. The Volunteers didn’t waste any time, jumping out to a 7-0 lead in the first inning. Florida attempted to fight back, but Tennessee kept its foot on the gas to ultimately run-rule the Gators in the fifth inning.

Game 6: Oregon 6, Ole Miss 5

Oregon emerged with a 6-5 triumph over Ole Miss on Saturday after the game went to extra innings. It was a brutal ending for the Rebels, who walked Oregon’s Kedre Luschar with the bases loaded.

Saturday, May 31

Game 7: Texas 4, Oklahoma 2

There has been one team Texas has historically struggled with in Oklahoma City. In fact, they have never beaten them — the Oklahoma Sooners. But Saturday broke a dreaded drought as the Longhorns took down their arch rivals to put them one win away from the Women’s College World Series championship series.

Game 8: Texas Tech 3, UCLA, 1

Making its first-ever Women’s College World Series, the dream run has continued for Texas Tech. Who other than NiJaree Canady to pitch a complete game, giving up just one run? The Red Raiders are in incredibly unfamiliar territory but thriving at the right time.

Sunday, June 1

Game 9: No. 7 Tennessee 5, No. 9 UCLA 4 (F/9)

The game was close to over, with Tennessee needing only one out with a 4-2 lead in the seventh inning. Then pandemonium broke loose, as Megan Grant smacked a two-run home run but missed home plate. After about 15 minutes of review, the officials did not remove the game-tying run and the game went to extra innings. It was there that Tennessee loaded the bases with just one out in the ninth inning. Then shortstop Laura Mealer singled to left field to drive in the game-winning run in the 5-4 ballgame. Tennessee survives.

Game 10: No. 2 Oklahoma 4, No. 16 Oregon 1

Oregon struck first in a Women’s College World Series elimination game against Oklahoma, but the reigning champs answered quickly. After trying the game at 1-1 in the second inning, the Sooners surged ahead with a two-run Cydney Sanders home run in the third inning. She’d add another solo shot in the fifth inning to extend the lead to 4-1. From there, pitcher Sam Landry came on to close the deal, working 4.1 innings and giving up just two hits. So Oklahoma survives to take on Texas Tech.

Monday, June 2

Game 11: Texas 2, Tennessee 0

The Tennessee Lady Vols came into action on Monday knowing that they were one loss away from elimination. So, they once again turned to their ace Karlyn Pickens in the circle. She’s faced a massive workload in the Women’s College World Series but continued to pitch well outside of a fourth-inning solo home run from the bat of Katie Stewart. On the other side, Texas started Mac Morgan, who was phenomenal before turning the ball over to their own ace, Teagan Kavan to get the final nine outs, slamming the door. Tennessee has been eliminated while Texas advances to the Championship Series.

Game 13: Texas Tech 3, Oklahoma 0

For the first time in a long time, Oklahoma will not be the college softball national champion. The Sooners needed two wins on Monday to advance to the WCWS championship series but fell to Texas Tech in the first game. Originally thought to be another example of Sooner Magic with a two-run home run in the seventh inning, Texas Tech earned a walk-off sac-fly in the bottom half of the inning. A great moment for the program, competing for its first-ever national title.

Championship Series – Best of 3

Game 1 – Texas 2, Texas Tech 1
The first game of the WCWS final quickly turned into a crazy one. A controversial obstruction call paved the way for Texas Tech to take a 1-0 lead in the fifth inning, but Reese Atwood delivered in a key moment. As NiJaree Canady tried for the intentional walk, Atwood swung and knocked a base hit to left field, scoring two runs – which held as the difference, sealing Texas’ wild 2-1 win.

Game 2 – Texas Tech 4, Texas 3

There would no controversy during Game 2 as Texas Tech pulled away from Texas late during a 4-3 win to tie the 2025 Women’s College World Series final at one game a piece. After losing the first matchup of the series to Texas 2-1 on Wednesday, NiJaree Canady was back on the mound and would no disappoint. Canady pitched a complete game and finished the matchup with no earned runs. Texas Tech broke the opening tie with two unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth. Texas slugger Mia Scott put her team on the scoreboard with a home run in the bottom of the sixth inning, but Tech answered back in the sixth with two more runs. Texas’ Leighann Goode put Texas on the board to begin the seventh with an RBI double before a sac-fly skimmed the lead to just one run. Despite the Longhorns’ best efforts, Canady finished off the Longhorns in the seventh. Friday’s Game 3 will decide the NCAA’s softball national champion.

Game 3 – Texas vs. Texas Tech, June 6, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN
