Mar 7, 2021 NORMAN — Three Oklahoma pitchers combined for a perfect game — the Sooners' second of the season — and OU mashed six home runs in a 17-0 victory over Sam Houston State. The No. 1-ranked Sooners improved to 17-0 with four wins (including three more run-rules) at the Courtyard Marriott Tournament at Marita Hynes Field. Tiare Jennings, Jocelyn Alo, Grace Lyons and Mackenzie Donihoo all hit home runs for the Sooners — as did freshmen Paige Knight and Zaida Puni, who each hit their first career home runs in an OU uniform. Alo’s team-leading 13th bomb extended her hitting s...

Feb 27, 2021 PHOENIX — New Mexico jumped on top with a home run in the top of the first inning — and then promptly gave up a 33-spot. No. 2-ranked Oklahoma routed the Lobos 33-4 in Saturday’s opener at Grand Canyon University Softball Stadium, then stomped host GCU 14-0 in the nightcap. OU responded to its early deficit with seven runs in the first inning, seven more in the second, 12 in the third and seven again in the fourth. The Sooners OU (11-0) scored 29 in their season-opener at UTEP back on Feb. 11, but somehow were even more dominant against New Mexico, sending 18 batters to the...

She didn’t say the Sooners were this good. OU opened the 2021 season on Thursday at the Miner Invitational with an historic 29-0 rout of host UTEP, then pummeled Abilene Christian 9-0 in their second game. The Sooners bashed an NCAA record 13 home runs against UTEP, including three each from Grace Lyons and freshman Kinzie Hansen and Jocelyn Alo, Jayda Coleman and Mackenzie Donihoo also homered as OU raced out to a 13-0 lead in the first inning. Jennings finished with six RBIs, while Lyons and Mendes each drove in 5. Gisele Juarez started and pitched three perfect innings with six strik...

Oklahoma New faces are a big part of the story at Oklahoma this season. The arrivals include freshmen infielders Jayda Coleman and Tiare Jennings and pitcher Nicole May. Like UConn’s Paige Bueckers on the basketball court, Coleman brings star power that goes beyond being the nation’s No. 1 recruit. Also coming aboard is South Carolina transfer Jana Johns. How did adding a proven slugger in the infield work out when it was Shelby Pendley? Add those new arrivals to what we saw in 2020 from Jocelyn Alo, Kinzie Hansen and Grace Lyons and away we go. And yet it isn’t an arrival but Giselle J...

OU Athletics The headline isn’t that Oklahoma has been picked to win its ninth consecutive Big 12 Conference championship. It’s that somebody else received votes in the preseason coaches poll — enough to nearly topple the Sooners from the top spot. Texas got three first-place votes and finished with 33 voting points, just one vote and one point behind OU (four first-place votes, 34 points). The preseason poll was announced Thursday, and it’s the ninth year in a row and 12th time in the last 13 seasons that Oklahoma was picked to win the Big 12. Oklahoma State finished third with 26 po...
