The Shot

The Huskies headed to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series for the 15th time in program history and first appearance since 2019 earlier this month as the seventh-overall seed in the tournament.

The road wasn’t easy coming out of the Seattle Regional following the “Miracle on Montlake” with a seven-run comeback win over McNeese in the winner-take-all game seven to advance to the Super Regional.

In the best-of-three Supers against No. 22 Louisiana, the Huskies took the first two games to advance to Oklahoma City.

Washington opened its trip in OKC against Pac-12 foe No. 15 Utah with a 4-1 victory over the Utes. Sophomore infielder Rylee Holtorf powered the Huskies to victory with a three-hit performance and driving in three runs.

However, UW’s season ended after a pair of hard-fought losses against No. 3 Florida State and No. 9 Stanford. Washington ended the season with a record of 44-15. In the 30 full seasons of Husky Softball, the program has compiled 40 or more wins in 21 of them.

Washington has made 29 straight postseason appearances dating back to 1994 — the second year of the program. Washington has the fourth-most NCAA Tournament wins all-time (134) and fourth-most WCWS appearances (15).
