The GIST: No. 2 Oklahoma rewrote the college softball record books once again last night, winning their unprecedented fourth straight national title by beating No. 1 Texas 8–4 in Game 2 of the best-of-three Women’s College World Series (WCWS) championship.
- To celebrate, here’s a look at their incredible dominance, by the numbers:
0: As in the number of times the Sooners’ senior class was shutout across their four-year careers. Bringing that Boom(er).
4: So nice, we had to write it twice. Oklahoma is now the first program to win four straight national titles, giving them eight overall. Dynasty doesn’t even begin to cover it.
10: The number of seniors on OU’s title-winning squad that will go down as the best class in NCAA softball history. Shining bright like a diamond.
71: Oklahoma’s NCAA-record win streak, which lasted over a full calendar year from February 19th, 2023, to March 3rd, 2024.
1,515: The number of wins head coach Patty Gasso has racked up in her 29-year OU tenure, putting her third on the all-time wins list behind the legendary Mike Candrea (1,674) and Carol Hutchins (1,707). The chase continues.
