    No. 3 Texas Longhorns softball took the first game of the weekend series against No. 9 LSU at the Red & Charline McCombs Field 7-3, and made history in the process. After three scoreless innings to start off the game, the Tigers put two runs on the board at the top of the fourth. An Avery Hodge single to left field allowed Savanna Bedell and Maddox McKee to score, both unearned. Texas was unable to fight back in the bottom of the inning, and LSU kept it going in the fifth.

    When Texas Longhorns football released the updated spring roster for the 2025 season, one prominent player had his name listed under a different number. Colin Simmons made headlines as a true freshman, appearing in all 15 games for the Longhorns and posting a team-high nine sacks, third most in a single season by a freshman defensive player. The Shawn Alexander Freshman of the Year recipient played under the number 11 as a freshman, but now, his jersey will say have a big No. 1.

    Texas softball is no longer the unanimous top team in the nation after its first conference series loss over the weekend. The Longhorns fell to No. 10 Tennessee 2-1 in Austin, and the results reflected on the updated Softball America rankings. Though the Southeastern Conference still takes the top three spots, Texas dropped two spots, now standing behind its two main rivals Texas A&M and Oklahoma. Like Texas, Oklahoma also fell to the Lady Volunteers.

    AUSTIN -- It's the end of an undefeated series streak for No. 1 Texas softball. The Longhorns hosted the Tennessee Lady Vols for a three-game series this weekend, and while Texas shut the Vols out in game one with a 3-0 win, Tennessee found its strength to pull a comeback series win. This is Tennessee's second series win over a No. 1 team, previously defeating Oklahoma in Norman. Tennessee got the momentum early in the second game, putting two runs on the board at the top of the first.
