Oklahoma Softball Dominates with Record-Breaking Win Streak and WCWS Bid.

The Oklahoma Sooners softball team has broken the all-time win streak record set by the Arizona Wildcats in 1996-97, amassing 48 consecutive wins. Former Arizona players draw parallels between Sooners coach Patty Gasso and Wildcats coach Mike Candrea, both of whom have similar approaches and track records of success. Gasso has built a culture of trust and belief in her players, focusing on game-by-game preparation rather than records. The Sooners have been battle-tested at points during their streak, but their mindset of "we can do it all if we put our minds to it" has propelled them to a third consecutive Women's College World Series appearance.
