Fourteen of the top 16 teams in the NCAA softball tournament advanced through the regional round to next weekend’s super regional round.
The top-seeded Texas Longhorns and No. 2 seed Oklahoma Sooners were among the teams who swept through their respective regional rounds from Friday to Sunday.
The Arizona Wildcats and Baylor Bears produced the only upsets of the weekend. Arizona beat fellow unseeded team Villanova in the Fayetteville regional in which No. 12 Arkansas lost twice in three games. Baylor upset No. 13 seed Louisiana in the regional final.
Each super regional is a best-of-three series that will take place between Friday and Sunday. The full schedule when released can be found on NCAA.com.
No. 16 Texas A&M vs. No. 1 Texas
No. 9 LSU vs. No. 8 Stanford
Arizona vs. No. 5 Oklahoma State
No. 14 Alabama vs. No. 3 Tennessee
No. 11 Georgia vs. No. 6 UCLA
No. 10 Duke vs. No. 7 Missouri
No. 15 Florida State vs. No. 2 Oklahoma
Texas backed up its No. 1 seed with a dominant weekend in Austin.
The Longhorns outscored opponents 26-2 and pitched a pair of shutouts, one in the opener against Siena and one in the regional final versus Northwestern.
Texas will be favored to advance to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, but it could be locked in a battle with old rival Texas A&M.
A&M had an equally as dominant weekend with a pair of shutouts as well, but maintaining that same level against the top seed in the tournament will be more difficult.
Three-time reigning national champion Oklahoma will have a familiar foe come to its home for the super regionals as well.
The Sooners take on Florida State, who it beat twice in the WCWS championship series in 2021 and 2023.
Both the Sooners and Seminoles scored five or more runs twice in three regional games, so that may be one of the higher-scoring super regional matchups.
Arizona and Baylor will try to continue their upset-minded runs on the road. The Wildcats visit Oklahoma State, who allowed three runs in the regional round. The Bears make the trip to face Florida, the No. 4 seed who put up 24 runs this weekend.
The other super regional showdowns could be decided by only a few runs because they pit seeded teams against each other.
The must-watch matchup could be No. 10 Duke versus No. 7 Missouri. Duke won the ACC, but it was robbed of a top eight seed when the bracket came out. The Blue Devils are the toughest opponent on paper that a host faces next weekend.
No. 1 Texas softball and head coach Mike White swept the Austin Regional with a 7-0 win in the final on May 19 over the Northwestern Wildcats. Texas won all three games by a margin of no fewer than five runs to advance to super regionals for the fourth year in a row.
Mia Scott led the way for the Longhorns with a three-run home run to solidify the run support for Teagan Kavan on the mound. Kavan was the star of the game, though, for the Longhorns in the final game of the Austin Regional on Sunday afternoon.

The freshman Kavan registered her third complete-game shutout win of the season, allowing just one hit and two walks over seven innings on the mound against Northwestern.
Kavan joined Mac Morgan as the two Texas pitchers to register shutouts in three games for the Longhorns in the Austin Regional. Morgan registered a perfect game in seven innings in a 5-0 shutout win for the Longhorns in Game 1 of the Austin Regional against Siena on May 17.
Texas defeated Northwestern by a combined margin of 19 runs in the last two days to complete its sweep of the Austin Regional this weekend. The other win over the Wildcats was a 14-2 run-rule victory in five innings at McCombs Field on May 18.
With the win over Northwestern on May 19, the Longhorns become the first team to advance to supers this postseason. The Longhorns have advanced to supers in each of the last five seasons, excluding the COVID-shortened 2020 season.
Only two wins sits between Texas and their second Women’s College World Series trip in the last three years.
Texas now awaits the winner of the Bryan-College Station Regional between the No. 16 Texas A&M Aggies and Texas State Bobcats to determine its super regional matchup next weekend.
Texas A&M currently leads Texas State in what could potentially be the final game of the Bryan-College Station Regional on May 19.
AUSTIN, Texas — At just 3 years old was when Swetha Sathish first got introduced to golf by her father. She was swinging a club that was bigger than she was.
“It was at 5 years old they really saw something in my swing,” says Sathish. “From there, we discovered every step of the way.”
Sathish says she got her first lessons through a Groupon deal, and that’s when her golf career really began.
“I knew this is what I’ve wanted to do since I was 8 years old,” says Sathish, “I’ve always had a dream of going pro.”
When she was younger, Sathish says playing golf was a lot about spending time with her father. She says that is still the case, but now, it’s also her thing.
Growing up in Ontario, Canada, she started to take golf more and more seriously as she got older. She began traveling to tournaments and testing her skills against other top young players. In 2022, her family decided to move to Texas and allow more opportunities for her to get better at golf.
After a year of taking classes online, Sathish decided she wanted to join a team, so they started looking for schools across Texas. They saw that Vandegrift High School had won the 6A state golf title in 2023, and that was going to be her new home.
“I knew that’s the kind of girls I want to be around and play with,” says Sathish. “It was definitely one of the best decisions for sure.”
Sathish says coach Aaron Ford and the rest of the team made it easy for her to fit in with the group. She helped Vandegrift win a second straight 6A golf title recently, while she was the individual champ shooting a 70 and 68 at the state tournament to win by 4 shots.
“I’m speechless, that last putt I was shaking,” said Sathish after the tournament. “I’m so happy, and I have to give everything to my team and my coach and my family.”
Sathish will have a chance to come back as a senior next year and defend her title. After high school, she’ll head off to play in college and has already committed to Arkansas.
“Arkansas is a beautiful college town. I loved the campus,” says Sathish. “The coaches are great, and the facilities are some of the best you’ll ever see in the country for college golf.”
If she continues to follow the plan, the dream of going pro could be within her reach. She’s put a lot of work in having the success on the course that she’s already had.
“The motivation is just to be the best at my passion,” says Sathish. “That’s what my motto is, and that’s what my parents have taught me.”
