The Sooners will have plenty of new faces in 2025, but will rely on a new crop of leaders to tackle the program's first season in the SEC.
Gasso celebrated her last month as a coach in the Big 12 with a fourth-straight national title. She watched the most decorated senior class in the history of the sport ride off into the sunset with one last celebration in Oklahoma City brought on by a sweep of the Texas Longhorns in the Championship Series.
Love’s Field’s opening in 2024 was a major success, and it would be fitting that the first blockbuster recruiting win for Gasso at her new palace could be the addition of 2024 USA Softball Player of the Year“I'm ready to start coaching again because I don't have to coach this ,” Gasso said earlier this month after winning the title. “They know it. They've got it. They coach each other. I'm really excited about what's coming.
And while the strength of the conference is unquestioned, that hasn’t translated to total domination at the top like it has for the SEC in baseball. Oklahoma lost to Georgia in the second game of a double-header in Athens in 2021, but later avenged that loss at the WCWS, and OU split its pair of contests at the 2024 WCWS against Florida to advance to the Championship Series to meet Texas. The Sooners went 5-0 against the SEC in 2022 and 10-0 against the league in 2023.
