How to Watch Oklahoma Softball this weekend
The Oklahoma Sooners are looking to continue their undefeated start to the season in the Norman Tournament at the opening weekend at Love's Field. The Sooners will host Tulsa, Wichita State, Bowling Green, and Abilene Christian Saturday through Monday in a weekend that saw alterations to the schedule due to the winter storm that came through Oklahoma last week. The No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners have been led by two-time SEC Player of the Week Ella Parker, hitting an incredible .647 through 10 games with three home runs, 14 RBIs, seven doubles, and six walks. Parker has put her in the National Player of the Year discussion. Oklahoma has also received significant contributions from newcomers like transfers Abby Dayton, Ailana Agbayani, and SEC Pitcher of the Week Sam Landry. But the Sooners top-ranked incoming freshman class has started their OU careers off with a bang. Freshman Sydney Barker is tied with Parker in home runs and RBIs. Fellow freshman Audrey Lowrey has had two scoreless appearances against San Diego State and Hofstra to start the season. If Oklahoma can avoid an upset this weekend, the Sooners can climb back into the No. 1 spot in the nation after the Texas Longhorns lost to Stanford on Friday. All four games in the Norman Tournament can be seen on ESPN+/SECN+ and here's how and when you can tune into the action.

Pair of Oklahoma Sooners earn SEC Weekly Honors
After a run-rule weekend, a pair of Oklahoma Sooners earned weekly honors from the SEC. Ella Parker picked up her second-straight SEC Player of the Week award, and Sam Landry was named SEC Pitcher of the Week. Parker was once again fantastic for the Sooners, hitting an incredible .750 with two doubles, two home runs, and six RBIs. She got a hit in each of the Sooners' opening at-bats to help set the tone offensively. Parker leads the Sooners with a .647 batting average and is tied for the team lead with three home runs and 14 RBIs. Landry started just one game for the Sooners, wrapping up Oklahoma's time in Waco with a five-inning perfect game where she recorded eight strikeouts and didn't allow a fly ball in the win. Landry, a transfer from Louisiana, never reached a three-ball count and only faced a two-ball count four times in 15 at-bats. Landry's perfect game is just the second against a ranked opponent in Oklahoma Softball history. She's 3-0 on the season and has thrown 15.1 scoreless innings since her first start against San Diego State. The Oklahoma Sooners are 10-0 on the season and have five run-rule wins to start the season. Now they get set to host Abilene Christian, Wichita State, Bowling Green, and Tulsa for the Norman Tournament.
