OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – The momentum in Texas' 9-1 win over Kansas began with the 15th pitch in the bottom of the first inning and didn't stop until the 96th pitch thrown by a Jayhawk pitcher Friday afternoon.

Appearing in her first game since May 6, 2023, Courtney Day broke the 0-0 tie in the bottom of the first when she lined a 1-1 pitch into the left-centerfield gap to score both Leighann Goode and Mia Scott from second and third, respectively. Goode, an inning later, doubled the Longhorn lead with a two-out, two-run home run to mark her eighth home run in 187 plate appearances as a true freshman.
