Women's College World Series on USRN

The Ultimate Sports Radio Network is set to bring you the best coverage we possibly can from the 2018 Women's College World Series. The NCAA Tournament, which started with sixty-four teams, has been dwindled down to the eight teams that both made it from their Regionals and won their best two-out-of-three Super Regional Series. In the Regionals, all sixteen national seeds made it out, while all eight of the teams with home field advantage made it out of the Supers and into the World Series in Oklahoma City. The breakdown of the eight teams: four teams, half the field, come from the Pac 12 (Oregon, UCLA, Washington & Arizona State). Two come out of the SEC (Georgia & Florida) after the conference had all thirteen teams make it the NCAAs. The other two teams are made up with one from the ACC (Florida State) and the other from the Big 12 (Oklahoma). As it always is, each of the eight teams provide many stories. For Patty Gasso and Oklahoma, the Sooners are looking for their fifth National Championship and it would be their third consecutive. There has only been one previous time that a program has won three straight National Titles, that was UCLA from 1988-90. The last five years, the National Champion has been either Oklahoma or Florida. The Gators come in having barely squeaked by Texas A&M in the Supers. They needed a walkoff walk to win the first game, and then in a do-or-die Game Two, they were face-to-face with their own frailty. But a walkoff homerun secured their spot in OKC. Oregon is the number one overall seed and looks to make the National Championship Series for the very first time. Meanwhile, Washington hopes for their second crown, the first coming in 2009. For Arizona State, one of the most underrated College Softball teams ever was their 2011 National Championship team. They swept Florida in the Championship Series by outscoring them in the two games 21-6. And is it just me, or is it nothing short of incredible that the 2011 title from Arizona State was the last time the Pac 10/12 won a Softball Championship? Stunning really. Florida State was so close to making the Championship Series for the first time two years ago before losing a classic to Auburn. After winning two games in one day against LSU last weekend, let's see if the Seminoles are finally ready to make it to the big series. Georgia seems the be the team that everyone is forgetting about in all of this. I'll admit, I was stunned to see they received a top-eight national seed, but they proved the doubters such as myself wrong with their Regional performance and a very strong showing in sweeping Tennessee in the Regionals. And then we've got UCLA. The Bruins who own more National Championships than anyone else, eleven, but they haven't scored one since 2010. So filled up with storylines, we can't wait to bring you the Women's College World Series on USRN for the next week.
