The 2025 Women’s College World Series (WCWS) semifinals feature a high-stakes showdown between Texas Tech and Oklahoma on Monday, June 2, at 6:00 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN, with streaming available via the ESPN app and ESPN+
Texas Tech (2-0) enters the semifinals needing just one win to advance to the program’s first-ever WCWS Championship Series. The Red Raiders are led by ace pitcher NiJaree Canady, who has been dominant throughout the tournament.
In their opening game, Canady pitched a two-hit shutout with 10 strikeouts against Ole Miss, followed by a four-hit, seven-strikeout performance in a 3-1 victory over UCLA.
Oklahoma (2-1), the four-time defending national champions, faces a more challenging path. After a 4-2 loss to Texas, the Sooners rebounded with a 4-1 win over Oregon, powered by two home runs from Cydney Sanders. To reach the finals, Oklahoma must defeat Texas Tech twice on Monday, highlighting the pressure on their lineup to perform against Canady’s formidable pitching.
This semifinal clash promises to be a thrilling encounter, with Texas Tech aiming to make history and Oklahoma striving to continue their championship legacy.
Should the Sooners win Game 1, they would force Game 2 of a doubleheader, which is tentatively scheduled for 8:30 p.m. CT.
