Auburn’s softball season ended about a week earlier than expected. The team had made back-to-back Women’s College World Series appearances, including last season’s runner up to Oklahoma. It is fitting that another season ended with a loss to the Sooners in what is becoming a trend for Auburn sports. The Sooners took care of Auburn in the WCWS series finals last season, and the Auburn football team was soundly thumped by Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl.
The Tigers did get some retribution as the softball team defeated the Sooners in the first game of this season in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
