OU Clinches SEC Title After Texas A&M Loss

Oklahoma softball clinched the SEC regular season championship in its first year in the conference after Texas A&M lost to Tennessee, securing the top seed for the upcoming SEC Tournament even before completing their series against Florida. The Sooners opened the Florida series with a dramatic 6-5 extra-inning win, featuring Abby Dayton's game-winning RBI and Sam Landry's complete game in the circle. Oklahoma lost the following game 9-4 to Florida but maintained their top national ranking and demonstrated continued resilience. Additionally, Florida State captured its 15th ACC regular-season title by defeating No. 15 Virginia Tech 13-4, with strong performances from Amaya Ross and pitcher Ashtyn Danley. Both Oklahoma and Florida State enter their respective conference tournaments as leading contenders. The Oklahoma-Florida series also highlighted a storied rivalry with historic Women’s College World Series matchups.
