After NiJaree Canady kept them scoreless for six innings, Sooner Magic struck again in the top of the seventh when Abigale Dayton launched a two-run home run to right-center field. It seemed like the Sooners were going to pull off the remarkable once again. But Texas Tech responded with a little magic of their own and pulled a Sooners on the Sooners. The last time someone other than the Oklahoma Sooners won the national championship was in 2019, when UCLA knocked off OU in the championship series. What Patty Gasso, her staff, and the Sooners accomplished this season after losing a significant portion of their title teams was impressive. Oklahoma won the SEC in their first year. They made it to the SEC Tournament title game and earned a share of the tournament title. It was a good year. Not as good as anyone in that locker room would have liked, but the Sooners were contenders in a season that everyone believed would be a rebuilding year.
