Women's College World Series: Texas Tech, Oklahoma first teams to advance from super regionals

The first two teams in the Women's College World Series are set, with Texas Tech and Oklahoma riding to victory in the softball super regionals.

Texas Tech, a 12-seed, became the first team to punch its ticket to the Women's College World Series with a super-regional sweep of No. 5-seeded Florida State on Friday. Oklahoma, the seven-time NCAA champs, joined them on Saturday with a mercy-rule sweep over Alabama.

NiJaree Canady, who transferred to Texas Tech from Stanford for the largest-ever softball NIL deal, led the way for the Red Raiders, pitching seven innings each in Games 1 and 2, allowing just one total run.
