Not many college softball teams can lose arguably the best pitcher in Division I softball and expect to be right back in the thick of things the following season. But Oklahoma softball isn’t built like most teams.
The Sooners have featured a different mix of pitchers in all of their three consecutive national championship seasons. Two-time OU All-American Jordy Bahl, the Most Outstanding Player in this season’s just completed Women’s College World Series has entered the transfer portal and will be playing for her home state Nebraska Cornhuskers in 2024.
Giselle “G” Juarez (23-1) and Shannon Saile (17-0) combined in the circle to lead OU to the 2021 national championship in their final season of eligibility.
