OKLAHOMA CITY - The surging Longhorns will vie for their first national championship in softball and try for the third time in four years as they go up against Texas-killer - and everybody-killer - Oklahoma.

Texas Tech ended softball titan Oklahoma’s four-year reign at the summit of college softball to set up an all-Texas Women’s College World Series (WCWS) finals against the UT Longhorns.

When NiJaree Canady enters the circle, it is often goodnight for the opposing lineup. Texas Tech's star pitcher gave up just five hits during Monday's 3-2 win over four-time defending national champion Oklahoma as the Red Raiders punched their ticket to the championship series of the Women's College World Series with Texas.
