It will be an all-Lone Star State championship series when Texas Tech meets Texas for a shot at its first national title. Texas knocked off Tennessee earlier Monday to earn a spot in the championship series for the third time in four seasons. The Longhorns fell to Oklahoma in both 2022 and 2024.

Texas got past No. 7-seeded Tennessee after the Lady Vols survived an extra-innings thriller against UCLA. The Longhorns' offense was far from its best on Monday as it recorded just five hits and two runs, but it was enough to advance to a second consecutive championship series.

Texas Tech and Texas will face each other for the Women's College World Series championship after victories over Oklahoma and Tennessee, respectively.
