The 2025 Women’s College World Series at Devon Park has reached its dramatic finale, with Texas and Texas Tech locked in a best-of-three championship series—each chasing their first-ever national softball title. Texas, riding a 14-game winning streak against the Red Raiders, took Game in thrilling fashion, edging Texas Tech 2-1 after a late rally and a gutsy performance from ace Teagan Kavan.
Game saw Texas Tech strike first in the fifth inning, but Texas responded in the sixth with a pair of clutch singles and a daring double steal. The Red Raiders’ star pitcher, NiJaree Canady, was forced into her first intentional walk of the season, setting up Texas cleanup hitter Reese Atwood to deliver the game-winning hit Kavan then shut the door in the seventh, putting the Longhorns one win away from a historic championship.
Both teams advanced to the finals undefeated in the double-elimination bracket, with Texas Tech stunning four-time defending champion Oklahoma in the semifinals Texas, meanwhile, survived a tense Super Regional against Clemson before cruising through the WCWS.
Game is set for Thursday night, with Texas looking to clinch and Texas Tech aiming to force a decisive Game. The stakes couldn’t be higher as Devon Park prepares for a potential title-clinching moment and the end of a remarkable college softball season.
