No. 6 Texas took down No. 12 Texas Tech by the final score of 10-4 to emerge victorious in the 2025 Women’s College World Series.
The Longhorns took an early lead and never looked back on Friday night at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, winning the series 2-1 and clinching a Women’s College World Series championship for the first time in school history.
After Texas Tech couldn’t get on the board in the top of the first inning, Texas quickly jumped out in front by scoring five runs in the bottom of the opening frame.
Red Raiders pitcher NiJaree Canady was stellar throughout the tournament, but she struggled after beginning Friday’s contest with a strikeout. A pair of RBI singles from Reese Atwood and Katie Stewart gave the Longhorns an early 2-0 edge.
Canady initially seemed as though she could get out of the inning without allowing any further damage, but a three-run home run from Leighann Goode put Texas up 5-0.
Five runs were the most that Canady allowed in any inning throughout her career, as she was replaced by junior Chloe Riassetto to start the second inning.
Stewart recorded another RBI single in the third inning to extend Texas’ lead to 6-0 until the team put together another offensive outburst in the fourth.
After a pair of infield singles and a double loaded the bases, Longhorns senior Mia Scott hit a towering grand slam to dead center that put an end to any comeback hopes that Texas Tech still had.
Scott’s homer was especially impressive considering she’s reportedly been playing with a torn ACL.
She was one of four members of the Longhorns’ lineup to finish with multiple hits in Game 3.
Teagan Kavan took the mound for Texas, racking up 110 pitches in seven innings of work. Kavan allowed four runs, although all were unearned.
She was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Women’s College World Series.
Texas Tech attempted to rally with three runs in the fifth inning and one in the top of the seventh, but a groundout from Lauren Allred sealed the defeat.
Friday’s lopsided result was surprising, as each of the first two games of the series were decided by one run.
In the end, Texas took home some hardware.
