Norman, OK — The Oklahoma Sooners softball team is lighting up the diamond and rewriting history books as they storm into the postseason. In just their first year in the SEC, the powerhouse program has clinched the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament, solidifying their dominance in yet another conference.
After an electrifying regular season, capped with a tight 3–2 battle against Florida, the Sooners have proven they’re not just SEC newcomers—they’re title contenders. With a pair of byes heading into the tournament, the path to more hardware is wide open.
Setting the Stage, Shattering Records
The Sooners-Texas rivalry reached fever pitch during a recent three-game series in Norman, where 13,734 fans packed the stands—shattering Oklahoma’s all-time state attendance record for softball. The intensity of the Red River showdown has even sparked serious talk about moving future matchups to a grander stage: the legendary Cotton Bowl.
“It’s not just a game anymore—it’s a movement,” said one fan. “The atmosphere felt like the College World Series.”
Landry Goes No. 1
As if the Sooners’ team accolades weren’t enough, senior pitcher Sam Landry added a personal milestone to the list. She was selected No. 1 overall in the 2025 Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) Draft by the Volts—becoming the latest Sooner to leap from college star to pro sensation.
Landry’s rise reflects the caliber of talent Oklahoma consistently cultivates, making it clear: this program isn’t just a dynasty—it’s a factory for greatness.
What’s Next?
With the SEC Tournament on the horizon, all eyes are on Oklahoma. Can they add another title to their resume—and will the Cotton Bowl see its first taste of collegiate softball firepower?
Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the Sooners are rewriting the script, one swing at a time.
