2022 Women's College World Series: Texas vs. Oklahoma game times, television designations released

It’s down to two teams in the 2022 Women’s College World Series: Oklahoma and Texas. That’s an intriguing matchup, and the NCAA released the full TV schedule for the event.

The Sooners — the tournament’s No. 1 seed — have only lost three games all year, including one Monday against UCLA before winning the elimination game 15-0. One of those losses came to the Longhorns in the regular season in Austin when Texas defeated Oklahoma 4-2. The two teams later faced off in the WCWS, and Oklahoma came away with the 7-2 victory to send Texas to the other half of the bracket.

Texas then had to face Oklahoma State and had to win twice to eliminate the Cowgirls from the field. The Longhorns did just that, winning the first game 5-0 before pulling off a win in game two thanks to a crazy play to take the lead in the fifth inning. Now, the rematch is set.

Hailey Dolcini had her way with Oklahoma in the regular season, giving up two hits over seven innings in Texas’ win April 16. That wasn’t the case last game when she allowed five earned runs in 4.1 innings, including a first-inning home run from Jocelyn Alo.

Alo gets the attention for the Oklahoma offense — and rightfully so — but the Sooners have plenty of weapons on offense, and all of them have played roles in getting Oklahoma to the championship series. Tiare Jennings hits behind Alo and has shown plenty of power in the WCWS, but Jayda Coleman, Grace Lyons and Rylie Boone are all hitting over .400 this year. It won’t be easy for Dolcini to face the Oklahoma offense again, but it’ll make for a championship series full of storylines.

Here’s the TV schedule for the best of three series between Oklahoma and Texas.
