The collegiate softball season has come to a close, and the Women’s College World Series in 2022 is finally here.
A wide array of national championship contenders will compete in this year’s finale in Oklahoma City. No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 5 UCLA, the winners of the last two national championships, are perennial powerhouses. Texas, Oregon State, and Arizona are three unseeded teams that have pulled off stunning shocks to place themselves on the verge of collegiate softball glory.
With only two defeats this season, the reigning champion Sooners are the team to beat in the Women’s College World Series. However, one of those losses came in the Big 12 tournament to No. 7 Oklahoma State.
No. 9 Northwestern and No. 14 Florida complete the field, both of which have proven to be capable of scoring runs.
