Texas Beats Tennessee Twice, Advances to WCWS Title Series for 2nd Consecutive Year

On Monday, June 1, 2026, defending-champion Texas advanced to the Women's College World Series championship series by defeating Tennessee twice in Oklahoma City, securing its third straight finals appearance.
The 51-12 Longhorns needed two wins against the 49-12 Volunteers to advance; Texas secured a 5-2 victory in the first game to force a decisive second matchup.
Pitcher Teagan Kavan threw a complete-game two-hitter with 10 strikeouts in the second game, while slugger Katie Stewart extended Texas' lead with her 30th home run of the season.
Tennessee coach Karen Weekly said the team "did not adjust well" to Texas' pitching, ending the Lady Vols' season without the program's first national championship title.
Starting Wednesday, June 3, 2026, Texas will face either Alabama or Texas Tech in a best-of-three championship series at Devon Park.
