Although Mother Nature canceled the big games between Texas A&M Exigues and Georgia Bulldogs and Oklahoma Sooners and UCF Nights, we still saw very good softballs.
Florida State Seminols started the week with a win over rival Florida Gaters, then proceeded to win the game on Virginia Cavalers. Arkansas Razorback won the SEC series, closing the gates on the road. Tegan Kavan of Texas owned the weekend by tossing 26 strikes in 13.2 innings in the Longhorn’s series against Missouri, and the UCLA Taylor Tinsley led Bruins to a big win over Ohio State with 10 strikes in seven innings.
Both Florida and Georgia took down our pole after the deficit, meanwhile Duke Blue Devils and Claimson Tigers are our two raisers.
Let’s take a look at this week Espn.com/usa softball collection Top 25 rankings, plus our player to watch week and game.
Week game
Olivia Robisson of Idaho State did not knock the ball out of the park, knocking it into a fan’s car window. Look at the fourth home run of Robisson’s season, which helped lift the previous Bangles of North Colorado.

Bri Ellis, Inf, Arkansas
Ellis has played another level this season. She leads the razorback in almost every hitting statistic -.511 batting average, 59 RBI and 20 home runs-and 200 putouts and just three errors playing near defense. In this last weekend against Florida Gaters, Alice had six RBI, a theft basis and a homer. He has just cemented himself as one of the best hits in the game.

Number 18 Oklahoma State vs No. 2 Oklahoma (Wednesday, 8 am on ET ESPN2/ESPN+)
The 2025 version of the Baddalam rivalry will look slightly different and will come a little earlier, but the competition will remain the same. Sunars owns the 104-74 all-time records on cowgirls, but Oklahoma drew two games in the last year’s regular season series. Will Suuners get the last laugh this year? Or can cowgirls take the rights to be borne again home?
After struggling to hit against the pitching staff of Oklahoma kingdom Arizona, two-game losers fall in this matchup. Meanwhile, the 1.83 ERAs of Sooners Sam Landry and Kasidi Pickering are continuing to move in the right direction with the help of Slugging percentage. Due to the recurrence of the conference, this will be the only matchup between these two teams this year, so be sure to tune in one of the best rivals in softball!
