Texas Tech Completes WCWS Championship Series Rematch

  • On Monday, defending national champion Texas eliminated Tennessee 4-0 at Devon Park, securing its third consecutive Women's College World Series championship series appearance behind pitcher Teagan Kavan's complete-game two-hitter with 10 strikeouts.
  • Texas Tech also advanced to the finals Monday by defeating top-seeded Alabama twice, with star pitcher NiJaree Canady throwing a complete-game two-hitter in the 2-0 shutout elimination game to clinch the Red Raiders' second straight championship berth.
  • Kavan passed Cat Osterman for most WCWS shutouts in Texas history, while Canady became the fourth pitcher in WCWS history to record shutouts in four separate tournaments, positioning both programs for historic significance.
  • Red Raiders coach Gerry Glasco called Canady's performance 'a great confidence builder' for the finals, while Tennessee coach Karen Weekly accepted responsibility for the Lady Vols' loss, acknowledging the intensity of double-elimination softball.
  • The defending champion Longhorns will face Texas Tech in a best-of-three championship series beginning Wednesday, marking the first WCWS finals rematch in history after Texas defeated the Red Raiders in three games last year.
