Oklahoma City, OK – The 2025 Women’s College World Series is down to its final four teams after a day of nail-biting elimination games on June 1st. No. 6 Texas, No. 12 Texas Tech, No. 2 Oklahoma, and No. 7 Tennessee will battle it out on June 2nd for a chance to advance to the best-of-three championship series, set to begin on Wednesday at Devon Park.

Texas and Texas Tech control their own destiny, needing just one win each to secure a spot in the finals. For the Longhorns, a victory would mean their second consecutive WCWS finals appearance and their third since 2022.
