By the time the final out is logged in the Women’s College World Series on Monday, the 2024 WCWS championship series will be set.
And, win or lose, Mike White, Reese Atwood and Texas softball will have a say in who makes the best-of-three series.

The Longhorns to this point have looked every bit the part of the No. 1 national seed, giving up zero runs through two games in Oklahoma City. They got started with a 4-0 victory over Stanford, the No. 8 national seed, led by pitching phenom NiJaree Canady. They then turned around and thrashed No. 4 national seed Florida 10-0 in five innings. Perhaps more impressively, they allowed just one hit per game in those two victories.
Now Texas will look for one more victory to cement its spot in the WCWS championship series, again against Canady and the Cardinal. Stanford rebounded nicely from its opening loss to the Longhorns, downing Oklahoma State 8-0 in six innings on Friday and UCLA 3-1 on Sunday to get another crack at the Longhorns.
Should Stanford manage to get one back vs. UT, it will need another victory against the Longhorns to secure a spot in the championship series. Texas, meanwhile, needs just one win.
