Oklahoma softball has played in six of the Women’s College World Series held since 2014, including back-to-back national championships in 2016 and 2017.
Florida State, the Sooners opponent in the 2021 WCWS championship series, has made four World Series over that time span, including a national championship of their own in 2018.
In fact, Florida State’s WCWS championship in 2018 marked just the second time since 1990 that a team has lost its first WCWS game and come back to win a national championship.
