speaks to his team after a 10-4 win over Arizona secures
the Cowgirls fifth straight trip to Oklahoma City and
the Women's College World Series.

🙌 WHAT… A… WEEKEND!

🔺 Pleading The Fifth. Last spring, the OSU softball squad set a new program record with its fourth straight WCWS appearance.

That record lasted less than 365 days as the Cowgirls extended that streak to 5️⃣ with a dominant weekend Super Regional sweep of #17 Arizona.

🔺 HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS! For the third time since 2017, the Pokes hoisted the Big 12 Tournament trophy, capping off a monster week down south with a dominant 9-3 win over OU in the championship game.

The win gives OSU the 35th conference championship in program history, with six of those coming in the Big 12. It marks the Cowboys' fourth Big 12 tournament title as they previously brought home the trophy in 2004, 2017 and 2019.  

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Welcome To Our House. Over the course of the past three seasons, there is one program in the entire country to host a regional each spring.

That school? OSU.

The Cowboys earned the #11 national seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament and will be hosting Nebraska, Florida and Niagara this upcoming weekend at O’Brate Stadium.

🔺 The Oregon Trail. The Pokes are headed west! We just hope the wagon is big enough!

It was a BIG week at NCAA West Prelims in Fayetteville with the OSU track & field squad booking 11 tickets to the NCAA Championships next month in Eugene, Oregon.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 11.

This year is the 49th NCAA Regional appearance for the Pokes, the fourth most in college baseball history.

It is OSU's 11th consecutive Regional berth under head coach Josh Holliday and is the sixth time under Holliday that the Cowboys are a Regional host (2014, 2015, 2019, 2022 and 2023).

🤠 Enjoy your day, OSU Fam!
