9 SEC teams in Final 16. Wow.
As I said in a previous thread, us having a losing record in SEC play didn’t mean we weren’t a very good team. The SEC is just possibly the best conference in softball history this season. Having 9 of the final 16 teams in the tournament is insane. Too bad we have to face another SEC team in the super. I’d give us a good chance against a non-SEC team. We still have a puncher’s chance against Oklahoma.

I've gotta assume that's the greatest weekend a Bulldog softball pitcher has ever had.

If I understood the stat correctly, the first no hitter ever thrown in the NCAA tourney against a national seed in a regional (not Super or CWS) game.

She breaks the school record for K's in a season in the deciding game then ties the school record for K's in a game (14) in the same game.

And she's cute to boot.

Don't think we played Oklahoma yet this season.

15.2 innings. 26 K, 2 hits, 0 runs, 3 wins. In a regional. I have a hard time seeing how any pitcher anywhere has ever topped that.

considering most great pitchers / performances like this will be by a player on the host team - and she also no-hit the host team to boot, yea there's not a better regional pitching performance imo.

Pretty cool for Ricketts to get to coach a Super against her Alma mater. Her family is Oklahoma softball royalty.
Before Oklahoma was in the SEC, she scheduled a home and away weekend non conference series with them when they were at their prime.
