Longhorns earn first title in school history in dominant Game 3 Show Caption Hide Caption Why Texas Tech, Texas will win 2025 WCWS It's a Lone Star State Women's College World Series this year, and reporter Jenni Carlson breaks down one reason Texas Tech will win and one reason Texas will win the WCWS. For the first time in program history, Texas has reached the mountaintop of the college softball world. In what was an all-around dominating performance, the sixth-seeded Longhorns defeated No. 12 Texas Tech 10-4 in Game 3 of the Women's College World Series championship series. With the win at Devon Park on June 6, Texas became the first program since Florida State in 2018 to be crowned as a first-time national champion. It also snaps a two-series losing streak in the WCWS championship for head coach Mike White after losing two of the last three finals to Oklahoma. REQUIRED READING: Texas softball vs Texas Tech live score: Longhorns dominating Red Raiders in decisive Game 3 Texas didn't take long to get to Texas Tech ace NiJaree Canady, who was starting her eighth consecutive game dating back to the super regional round of the NCAA softball tournament. The Longhorns plated five runs in the bottom of the first inning with back-to-back RBI singles from Reese Atwood and Katie Stewart and a three-run home run from Leighann Goode. Longhorns third baseman Mia Scott put Texas in double figures with the first grand slam at the WCWS in 15 years in the bottom of the fourth. Scott also flashed the leather of her glove in the top of the second inning with a play at the hot corner. It wasn't only Texas' bats that dominated in Game 3 of the WCWS championship series — and the WCWS as a whole — as sophomore ace Teagan Kavan was once again stellar on the mound.
