Regular Season Dominance
From the start of the season, Texas set the tone. The Longhorns dominated the Big 12 Conference with a 48–6 record, going 18–3 in conference play. Standout wins against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Baylor helped them secure the top seed heading into the NCAA tournament.
Their offensive power was led by junior slugger Alyssa Washington, who finished the regular season with 23 home runs and 65 RBIs. But it wasn’t just her bat that stood out—her leadership in the dugout and fierce competitiveness made her the emotional engine of the team.
On the mound, freshman phenom Kayden Morales took the NCAA by storm. Armed with a blazing fastball and a wicked changeup, Morales ended the season with a 1.12 ERA and 280 strikeouts, earning her the title of National Freshman of the Year.

The Road to Oklahoma City
The Longhorns powered through the regionals and super regionals with clinical precision. They defeated UCLA and Oregon with ease, sweeping their way into the WCWS. Once in Oklahoma City, the real test began.
First came a gritty win over the Florida Gators. Morales threw a complete game shutout while Washington drove in the game-winning run. Next came the semifinal clash against a resurgent Alabama squad. That game went down to the wire in extra innings before sophomore Maya Turner delivered a walk-off double, securing Texas’s place in the national championship series.
