Patty Gasso's Oklahoma softball squad opens the season ranked No. 3 in the nation, and No. 3 in the Southeastern Conference.

Of course, the Sooners are more focused on No. 5. That is, a fifth consecutive national championship.

No team had ever won four in a row until Gasso's magical 2024 senior class pulled it off last June.

But this is a rebuilding year for Gasso and the Sooners, and now they're both the hunted and the hunter.

OU opens the season this evening on the West Coast with a doubleheader against Cal State Northridge and San Diego State, followed by two more Friday against Cal Baptist and Cal State Fullerton, with more games Saturday and Sunday against Loyola Marymount and Long Beach State.
