The 3-seeded Sooners rolled through the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament with ease.

OU opened last weekend with an 11-0 victory over Binghamton in five innings, then the Sooners followed that victory up with a 9-0 win over Kansas in five innings.

Oklahoma met Michigan in Sunday's regional final. The Wolverines fell 8-1 as Patty Gasso's team advanced to their 16th-straight Super Regional. The Sooners allowed six hits total through their first three games of the NCAA Tournament.

Mississippi State had to hit the road over the weekend, but the Bulldogs were the class of the Eugene Regional.

Led by former Sooner star and graduate assistant Samantha Ricketts, Mississippi State took down Saint Mary's 3-2 in extra innings last Friday before pitcher Alyssa Faircloth threw a no-hitter in a 4-0 victory over Oregon on Saturday.

The Gaels knocked the Ducks out of the regional as Oregon ace Lyndsey Grein was sidelined with an eye infection, but the Bulldogs were able to close out the weekend with a 5-0 victory on Sunday.

Ricketts has now led the Bulldogs to a Super Regional twice, with the last trip coming in 2022.

Gasso and Ricketts are no strangers to battling each other, either.

The teams have battled eight times since Ricketts took over the program in Starkville.

OU is unbeaten, including a trio of neutral site wins in Louisiana (2021), Irvine, CA, (2022) and at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic (2024).

The Sooners also traveled to Starkville for a pair of victories in 2023, and Oklahoma hosted Mississippi State in SEC play last year, which included a contest in Oklahoma City at Devon Park.

A pair of victories this weekend would see OU advance to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City for the 10th-straight tournament.
