The Sooners are leading the country with an .880 slugging percentage and tout a .521 on-base percentage.

• OU and Texas are in their second season in the SEC respectively. The Sooners swept the Longhorns in a three-game series at Love’s last season, Texas’ first visit to Love’s Field. The Longhorns would win the meeting in the 1-0 game of the 2025 Women’s College Series, 4-2.
