The 2022 Women’s College World Series is set, and unpredictability might be the only thing that should be expected. Three unseeded teams have an opportunity to chase the trophy, while five seeded teams also continue their quest.
The Big 12 conference has three representatives in No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 7 Oklahoma State and Texas. The Pac-12 also has three in No. 5 UCLA, Arizona and Oregon State. The Big Ten sends No. 9 Northwestern, while the SEC has No. 14 Florida.
All eyes will be on Oklahoma, the team that has been ranked No. 1 in the country the entire season — and for very good reasons. This stacked Sooners’ roster has registered an impressive 54-2 record thanks to a scary offense. Jordy Bahl was just named the NFCA National Freshman of the Year due to her solid 21-1 record and a 0.95 earned run average through 132 1/3 innings. She pulled off 199 strikeouts and only allowed 29 walks.
Oklahoma looks great, but if this postseason has taught us anything, nothing can be taken for granted. The Sooners will start off with a game against a resilient No. 9 Northwestern team. The Wildcats made it here after an exciting win over Arizona State in the Tempe Super Regional final. They were down five runs in the fourth inning before the comeback that sent them to their first WCWS since 2007.
Below is the entire bracket, followed by scores and information on how to watch every game.
