NCAA Softball Championships 2024: Super Regionals Results, World Series Schedule

The eight-team Women’s College World Series field is set.

Four of the top five teams in the country advanced to Oklahoma City out of super regional weekend.

The three-time reigning national champion Oklahoma Sooners were one of three teams to sweep their super regional to get into the WCWS.

The top-seeded Texas Longhorns were one of five teams that survived the full best-of-three series to reach the final week of the college softball season.

Only two upsets occurred during super regional weekend and it would be hard to call those results true upsets.

The Alabama Crimson Tide defeated one of their biggest SEC rivals, the Tennessee Volunteers and the Duke Blue Devils, who many thought should have been a top-eight seed, downed the Missouri Tigers in the two series won by the lower seeds.

No. 1 Texas def. No. 16 Texas A&M, 2 games to 1.

No. 8 Stanford def. No. 9 LSU, 2-1

No. 5 Oklahoma State def. Arizona, 2-0

No. 4 Florida def. Baylor, 2-1

No. 14 Alabama def. No. 3 Tennessee, 2-1

No. 6 UCLA def. No. 11 Georgia, 2-0

No. 10 Duke def. No. 7 Missouri, 2-1

No. 2 Oklahoma def. No. 15 Florida State, 2-0

The top two seeds in the NCAA softball tournament had much different super regional weekends.

Texas battled through three games with rival Texas A&M, a series that ended with a 6-5 victory on Sunday.

The Longhorns had to battle back from one game down in the series against the 16th-seeded Aggies to make their second-ever WCWS appearance in program history.

Oklahoma cruised past Florida State in two games on Thursday and Friday to return to Oklahoma City for the fourth straight year.

The Sooners won the last three WCWS titles and they should be favored to win the event until a program proves it can beat them.

Oklahoma went 5-0 in the first two weekends of the NCAA tournament and outscored its opponents 33-10.

The Sooners will be matched up with Duke to start their title defense in Oklahoma City.

The ACC champion had to go on the road to beat Missouri to reach its first-ever WCWS. The Blue Devils are the only first-time WCWS participant headed to Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma, Alabama, the Florida Gators and UCLA Bruins are all previous national champions. UCLA and Alabama will meet in the opening round of games.

Texas faces the Stanford Cardinal, who clinched the final WCWS berth on Sunday night with an 8-0 win over the LSU Tigers. The Oklahoma State Cowgirls face Florida in that portion of the bracket on Thursday.

The WCWS has a double-elimination format. The four winners from Thursday’s opening games head to the winners’ bracket, while the four losers will immediately start playing elimination games.

The two teams that emerge from the double-elimination tournament go head-to-head in a best-of-three championship series that is scheduled to begin on June 5.
