Last year, Oklahoma and Texas Tech softball were conference mates, with the former winning its fourth-consecutive NCAA championship and the latter managing just an 8-16 record in Big 12 play. Twelve months later, quite a bit has changed. The No. 2 Sooners and No. 12 Red Raiders will meet in the semifinals of the 2025 Women's College World Series on June 2 at Devon Park in Oklahoma City.

Texas finds itself in a position few, if any, would have expected entering the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament — fighting for its life in the regional round. The No. 2 seeded Longhorns will look to avoid a stunningly early elimination in the Austin Regional on June 1 when it takes on UTSA at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The game's a rematch of Texas' 9-7 loss to its in-state foe on May 31, a loss that put coach Jim Schlossnagle's team on the brink of getting bounced in the double-elimination tournament.
