How to Watch No. 1 Nebraska Softball's Super Regional vs Oklahoma State with Preview, Breakdown, TV Channel

After the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Oklahoma State Cowgirls clashed for two games in March, it seemed like destiny would put the teams on a collision course to meet again before the Women's College World Series.

On Thursday, the Huskers and Cowgirls will meet for the first game of a best-of-three Super Regional with a WCWS berth awaiting the winner at the finish line.

The Lincoln Super Regional is the first hosted by NU in program history.

The two programs did split the two-game series earlier in the season, with the third game getting canceled due to inclement weather.

Oklahoma State took the first meeting by a score of 2-1, walking off in the bottom of the 11th inning thanks to a solo home run off the bat of Rosie Davis.

In the second game, Nebraska got the better of OSU and won 4-3.

Oklahoma State Scout

Oklahoma State completely dominated the Stillwater Regional, going 3-0 and outscoring its opponents 34-7. The +27 run differential was the largest in NCAA Regionals in program history.

The Cowgirls are 30-4 in NCAA Regional/Super Regional games since 2019.

Oklahoma State posted a 16-0 run-rule victory in its regional opener against Eastern Illinois before beating Stanford in two consecutive games by a combined score of 18-7 to clinch a spot in the Super Regional.

The Cowgirls will go as far as Ruby Meylan can take them.

Meylan, a Nebraska native, is the 2026 Big 12 Co-Pitcher of the Year and was named a First Team All-American by Softball America on Tuesday.

Outlook

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this series needs all three games to determine a winner. The advantage Nebraska has is pitching because the Huskers have two starters compared to Oklahoma State's one.

I still expect Nebraska to win, but the Huskers need to score more than seven runs (their three-game total in last weekend's regional) because the Cowgirls can hit.
